Tesla’s $16k Quote for a $700 Fix Is Why Right to Repair Matters

Not all cars are set to depreciate. If you buy something more rare or in demand you will probably see it worth about the same when you sell, sometimes decades down the line. If you bought an aircooled 911 or some old land cruiser today, it would probably be worth even more in 15 years even with your mileage.

This is a very niche case, though, maybe 1% of cars, at best. It doesn't apply to mass market cars.

It sure does apply to mass market cars. A 15 year old Jeep wrangler with a manual transmission will hold its value fine. Most trucks actually hold quite a bit of value, especially with the manual transmission as these are sought after.
