On the other hand new cars aren't meant to last ten or fifteen years. The manufacturers would be quite happy if their cars give 5 years trouble free service to an owner who will then buy another new car from them.
The trick is to build a car cheap enough to make money but good enough to last that 5 years!

True, and you can fix most things on these cars with sticky backed plastic and a washing up bottle. :bust:
