      Problem is, thanks to capitalism, you’re no longer choosing from dozens of companies. You’re choosing between 2-3 conglomerates that own the dozens of brands. And all conglomerates will do the exact same shit, because they can, and you’re left twiddling your thumbs, not choosing between auto manufacturers but between owning a vehicle or not.

        Buy used, it’s much smarter anyway, as you avoid a lot of depreciation that way.

          Eventually the supply of used cars that don’t do this shit is going to run out.

          Stop confusing workarounds for a solution. The only actual solution is political: banning these anti-consumer practices entirely.
