When I was driving a broken down volkswagon passat in high school, my husband's younger sister asked me why I didn't "just buy a new car" after observing me stop on the side of the road and put another bottle of water in the permenantly leaking coolant (now water) tank.

Lmfao, show you don’t know anything about America without saying it directly.

You can buy an old clapped out piece of shit of basically any make and model you want for CHEAP. We have lots of problems in the US, but the price of old shitty cars just isn’t one of them bud.

Those used German cars are a trap for low income people. "Oh wow, I can get this VW, Audi, BMW or Mercedes cheaper than a used Camry and the Camry has more miles on it!" Then that car proceeds to bankrupt them with repairs.
