True, but with the help and guidance of BITOG my last auto purchase was a...twenty year old Camry. I like to think I will get low cost per mile. And when it does break down, it'll be simple to fix. And simple to jerry rig in case whatever it needs has gone obsolete. And if whatever it needs is outside my range of ability, cheap for someone else to fix.
I guess we'll see how this tech goes. All I know is that I tried to reprogram my TPMS for a single new Dorman sensor yesterday. It didn't take, now it's registering a system fault.
IIRC VW's initial DI wasn't that great. People were wise to wait for that to get perfected. Now it's a big no-worry. Staying behind the tech curve is safer & cheaper.
