But don't worry, you will be at moderate risk of the car breaking down before 10,000 miles and you can't fix the part because it has been deliberately engineered so that mechanics can't fix it and it has to be replaced.

the cool thing about really long terms on cars is that, so long as you don't own the car outright, you are likely required to maintain comprehensive insurance on the asset based on however much you still owe at the very minimum, rather than the actual exchange-value of the vehicle itself (which is certain to be less).
a nice little piece of business i'm sure the insurance formations are very eager to be a part of.

there's a little cynical game i play lately, based on the late stage capitalist reality that the only sectors of the US "economy" currently "growing" (aka elegantly extracting, if you're a worker) are part of the F.I.R.E. economy (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate). these are the dominant capital formations in the US. their power in US political economy has left the stratosphere due to their massive holdings. anytime there is a significant change reported, i make note of which formations benefit. and anytime some minor humanitarian reform is foreclosed upon as "unrealistic" (universal healthcare, public housing, etc), i make note of which formations would be negatively impacted.
Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate interests are the invisible voices of our god.
