Who wants to buy / drive a 10 yo car though…

I do. Less built-in obsolescence, let spyware, less vendor lock-in. More durability. Ain't ditching my '97 Fiat anytime soon.

My '14 RAV4 is amazing. Gimme CD player or give me death!

add to that list better gas mileage than most new cars of the same type and i feel the same way bout my '08 ranger. i've had to upgrade the infotainment system 3x already because of the planned obsolescence built into them.

The very same model, yes.

So along with all those positives you listed, the big negative being it’s a death trap.

Yes, newer cars are safer, there are tradeoffs. No, older cars aren't deathtraps but you can collect your comission from Honda now.
