It is called 'depreciation' and it happens so quietly that you don't notice it!

Maybe things are different in the Antipodes, but modern cars here are full of software - it is cheaper than mechanical parts to produce - and only the dealers can access things that need checking or adjusting - they have £££££.00 equipment spent to do it.
Real mechanics that employ common sense are generally non-existent, and would have little to do. Service information is not freely available, either.
Many cars here have no drain plugs here - oil has to be changed by sucking it out of the dipstick tube! Transmission oil generally cannot be changed. 2 drain plugs - saving on cost of 10p per car.
It seems the manufacturers do not like people maintaining their own cars.

I know that any new car I have ridden in or driven feels uncomfortable when I get back to my Deesse that floats along the road!
