There is no affordable car today that you can make any money today that you need to use. They require money in order to maintain it well enough to use.
Tires are expensive. Gas is expensive. You've got filters and oils and fluids to replace, and headlamps. Without the required disposables, a car is basically useless.
A house without running water, or power, or natural gas, or a furnace filter, or water softener, or lightbulbs, or toilet paper, etc. still provides shelter without all of those things.
A car gets you from point a to point b until it doesn't. At that point it's disposed of.
My next vehicle will be. no reason to have a gas anything. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of a divorce, so I have no idea how long it will be before I can make any positive changes. Fuck I don't even know where I'll be living in 8 months.
Many consumers treat their cars as disposable already
I'll be honest, they are?

Get an EV. The only expense is tires. I'm hoping my ev can last the life of the battery, which is supposed to be around 22 years.
