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.

Don’t you typically reset the dash lights through codes in the cab? Like, my maintenance light resets by doing something like turning the key five times and pushing a button, I can’t remember because it’s been a few years.

    Not on the '14 VAG car my family member has - requires a scantool to reset intervals. I am not a new car toucher so I have no idea otherwise. I find carburetors relaxing and soothing. Anything with a PCB in a black box gets my hackles up, including my 2001 truck that suddenly recently decided to start running a high idle. If it were a carb, that'd be fixed with a scredriver and about five minutes... With this old Toyota it seems that I have to do a hail mary purchase of a refurbed ECU on the hope that it solves the high idle and A/C clutch not engaging below 1500RPM.
