Hell yeah! 180 month loans when the average car msrp is $50,080 and climbing. Crapitalism truly is the "You will own nothing and be happy." ideology. (hexbear.net)

But don't worry, you will be at moderate risk of the car breaking down before 10,000 miles and you can't fix the part because it has been deliberately engineered so that mechanics can't fix it and it has to be replaced.

2014 - it has no dipsticks

That's wild, but it's a problem with specific models/manufacturers, not the entire industry. i have a 2018 car and a 2022 motorcycle and both are pretty maintenance friendly.

I think maybe it's all VAG products that lost the dipsticks. They seem to still have the dip stick tubes, but with plugs in the top. You can buy an aftermarket dip stick for like $50, which I've been meaning to do.
