  too expensive for what it can do but will last forever

  As far as I’m concerned, this is contradictory; if something is going to last forever, and not ridiculously overpriced, then it’s worth the premium.

    i think it’s worth the price, but some people don’t think as far. they just compare specs and say “this chinesium phone scores 2 points better in some benchmark and costs 200€” not knowing why it’s that cheap in the first place. old toyotas are still worth something for a reason.

    I mean, they’re not even that expensive to begin with.

      Agreed. They’re statement was very subjective, so it’s kind of hard to argue with that metric.

    You say that but there are Toyotas with 100k miles and 15 years old selling for 4k off MSRP.

    In pure maintenance consumable items alone - it’s a bad deal.
