Default older vs younger generation

Hi



what else is reason why younger generation believe that you have to have the newest cars with a warranty to have a decent one that’ll go for years and change them when warranty is over or have cars that are no older than 10 years and that the older generation believe that there’s nothing wrong with having a decent 10-15 year old one and driving them till the engine goes or cars rundown.



because these days it seems a lot of younger people would rather have a new car or a car no older than 5 years with a warranty then change them when it runs out and get another new one and start again each time and all we can put it down to is one or more of following.



1. Want the modern features and each new model improves.



2. They just don’t want to be bothered getting the annoying stuff fixed all time which will start to happen between 5-10 years.



3. status and keeping up with others.



4. Don’t have the time or patience to continually have things fixed even though it’s usually financially cheaper to do so.



and the older or middle generation usually buy a decent slightly older car that will be good enough to go from a-b and probably don’t care what it is as long as it’s good and does what they need and maybe add some aftermarket modern tech if they want to and all we can put it down to is one or more of following.



1. They don’t like finance and will only do so if they really have to.



2. They don’t care about what it is and what tech it has as long as it’s decent and goes from a-b.



3. They’re just happy to have second best that is still decent for ages and ages while it may not have all the modern tech.



4. They were probably taught that you don’t need the latest model for a decent one and that they’re plenty of good used cars.



5. They probably had more time and patience to deal with the continuing annoying things and will drive them till they completely die or is completely worn out and we’re taught to put up with it and hang on till then or a bit longer.



would all that sound right



thanks
