Cars are more expensive and the reason is because they are lasting longer
The average new car in 2016 would have cost you $34,450.
The average new car in 2022: $46,290.
The miles you can put on a car have gone way up - 200,000 miles
-And - if you take care of your car, a well-maintained car can reach 300,000-miles!
-The trend can also be seen in the average lifespan of cars, which reached an all-time high of 13 years for passenger cars in 2022
If you do routine maintenance, get small repairs finished quickly, regularly wash your car, and drive your car carefully, you can even surpass that number.
