Colleagues, I had an interesting discussion on the long-term durability of cars on the weekend – and put it here for discussion. : With modern vehicles, the ever increasing electronics and networking leads to a reduction in the life of cars. The systems are complex and possibly vulnerable and after a few years the cars are not properly repairable. Observation: In the day you only have to look at the valves in the taxis. Hardly a car, in which not any warning lamp (popular: brake or ABS) is cheerfully lit. With our 1 year old Galaxy the rear-view camera is not working properly (and the workshops are also not particularly competent…). : The cars do not rust anymore. Mechanically everything is also so far ok. (apart from wear on the axle parts, but that actually does not kill anyone). Ergo, the cars end up with electronic problems… even if you still have to use macky plug connections or even Breaking cables think… So now the question arises, what are now the vehicles with the best long-term forecast / what could be used preferably.
