Why a lot of people don't wait until cars completely dies

[car10002]

Hi

why do alot people start thinking of another car when repairs get to $500-$1000 each time while they can still get $1000, $2000, $3000 for the old car instead of waiting for the old one to die completely or until theyre told they need to spend $2000-$3000 on things, what makes people think about it

is it lots minor things that makes them think about it or is it because they have family that live some distance and they want to make definite plans and have little problems or like most people dont have the patience to deal with the minor things anymore, or they become too annoying. spose you can understand why they do it

is it also because some people have to travel or want to go places and not have the thoughts of being stuck somewhere, do they also feel that anything you can put towards your next car makes a difference so they sell the old one while they can still get some money to go towards it.

How do they know when it's time to trade up when there's currently nothing wrong with old one when speedo says 100-250000km or is 10-15 years old, when their still good used cars and some can get a lot of use out them

alot of families or school teachers or higher up people move cars on when theyve got a few km on them or the paint isnt best or when theyre due for higher maintenance (shocks, timing belt full brake job, repairs monthly or alot of small things at once)

but at same time some drive them until they die

why do some drive them until they die and some move on before while they still run

What are other reasons why people don't wait till car completely dies before changing over

And why do a lot of teachers and families have newer cars and changeover before old completely dies? Would they need extra reliability to go places even though alternator or other little things are not hard to change and no longer have the patience

How do people know to think about a change when speedo shows 200,000-300,000km depending on person wether they're happy with a good used car or want latest
