In many areas, a car is required. To get to work is an hour bike ride each way and there are NO sidewalks or bike lanes. Even with gas and insurance, it’s safer to have a vehicle so you don’t lose your job.
Many employers will not hire you without a car for transportation, it’s a fact in the US.
I paid $5,500 for my car 12 years ago. If they start selling EV’s for under $10k with less than 100k on them, it would be a possibility. Otherwise, most of us cannot afford it.
The average price of a used car in us is 30k+ according to a quick google. Which incidentally is the price of a nissan leaf, give or take. According to that statistics, your 5k bucket of rust is in the minority.
That statistical majority that buys a car for 30k+ should not be buying a gas one when ev exists.
