That's new, there is also used. But the fact is you can't compare it to your junker since, like I said, no one is asking you to switch right away.

The 7k seems like a lot but it isn't since you get it back quickly with the savings on maintenance and gas.

Except the comment I originally replied to literally said it was better for the environment to trade in my car rather than drive it until it dies.

Burning gas is so extremely bad that even throwing away your old ICE car and buying a new electric car is better than driving the ICE car until it „falls apart“.

Yes it is, and that's a step to take if you can, but no one is saying you are a bad guy if you don't.

It's being an oil industry mouthpieces that is the problem.
