In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?
Who is we?
Why are you buying a car in the first place?
get as many of the negatives of car ownership away from you.
I lease my Taycan. I do not want to pay for tyres or checkups. I do not want to pay in case the engine blows (not that it can, it’s electric but you get the gist).
Dude you’re paying a mortgage payment to not even own a car. Pardon me if I don’t take your financial advice. Glad you’re doing well for yourself, but most people aren’t able to afford a Porsche.
It doesn’t have to be the car i drive. Cars have enormous loss of value. I’d rather have a new car every 3 of 5 Years and pay rent on it, than to have a car that i pay the same amount of money but i can trash it 10 years later or spend as much as a new car to keep it pristine.
For some, this subscription model is great. But do you agree, that is it a bad thing if they force it on us?
I don’t understand buying a car unless it is a shitbox for the track and putting a rollcage in.
I don’t understand why someone would want to rent their car. Maintenance is not that hard, and companies always make you pay way more for their subscription models. By owning the car, you can pick who does maintenance. Meaning there can be competition, so prices/quality remains good.
LMAO you want to switch your Battery yourself? And pay for it directly? And if something goes wrong pay even more? Firgure out what shop has fair prices and doesnt fuck you over?
No thanks, i’d rather have all my services included in my lease.
Even electric engines can still break and have issues
Yeah but i don’t have to worry about that because anything but negligence is of no interest to me and included in the lease.
