My 2012 Impreza just reached the 180k mark. I am the original owner. I commute 88 mi roundtrip daily five to six days a week. Based on that I can't get a lease. A auto salesman also told me that buying a new auto doesn't make sense because I would depreciate it so fast and the warranty would be done in a year and a half. Used car prices are overvalued. My Impreza has been dealer maintained and other minor work done by an independent mechanic and Mavis tire. I just had to replace the CVT's valve body ($1,600). Major suspension parts have been changed except front struts. Otherwise the car runs and looks great.
I guess my general question is "what would you do?" I would like to wait out this chip shortage and having to pay inflated new and used car prices. But on the other hand I am concerned about other major component failure and then having to buy something quickly. Just thought I would throw this out there and gather some opinions.
Thanks
