Because not everyone can afford to replace an older vehicle and get another monthly payment

The difference in premiums is significant and replacing a 2008 vehicle with another 2008 vehicle isn’t going to result in a $500/month car payment. The payout from the insurance company for an old car minus the deductible isn’t going to be as much money as you think. They will depreciate the fuck out of that car and you won’t have too much to show for your increased premium.

You wouldn’t replace it with that. It would be a better one.

You don’t have to buy a better one. There’s no requirement to get something newer or better. It just needs to be reliable - Honda or Toyota.
