You don't keep it for 10 years, duh. You sell it at 7 years at most. When the battery and powertrain warranty is still intact.
Normally I get really smug about how much cheaper it is to run an old shitbox compared to a brand new car (particularly an EV, they depreciate hard), but this week I'm gonna be quiet on that front because I've spent all week elbows deep in the engine bay fixing an oil leak I've had since I got the piece of shit as a "while I'm in there" repair which every shitbox Audi owner can probably relate to, particularly those with a V shaped engine.
