Cars as a social status symbol is a scam. One little scratch shouldn't matter to you unless you are hoping to keep the car in mint condition for 30 years to have as a collectors item.

This irrational market forces new models, and so parts change. If you want to fix a 1998 corolla then it is dirt cheap. That car also got 38mpg. why can't I just buy that car? The demand is there, maybe not for $15k, but for people like me looking for cheap cars that run forever and have parts available.
