there are people in the world who buy new car because their 2 year old one is already too old.

    Fun fact, while shopping for a car in 2022, we looked at a used 2021 bmw x5. I wondered what they replaced it with and the salesman said "oh, he traded it in for a 2022 x5 of the exact same trim". They know him well because every year he comes in and trades in to make sure he is never driving "last year's model".

    Particularly stupid because that was the year of shortages where they actually made the new model worse by removing features they couldn't get supply for, other than removing features, the new car was unchanged from prior year.
