The older cars didn't fail spectacularly. The used car market is made mostly of these repairable cars.
Well, we need to specify which ages of car we are talking about.
The used car market is probably mostly made of cars built in the last twenty years. I also had even older times in mind, all the way from Model T to today.

Hah, totally fair. On a long enough timeline... survival drops to zero. I was pretty firmly in that past 20-30 years era indeed.
Anything older is legally defined as a classic, to my knowledge. Most of those are either proper junk or collectibles. Not what I'm talking about.
I was sort-of talking about the cars driven by your typical sitcom dad who's always tinkering and repairing that damn thing. Perhaps 1960-1980s or so?
