Only two of my cars have a model date later than 1993, tho.I don’t recall last time drive a car with real key…
We inherited a 2016 RAV4 from my wife's mom when she passed earlier this year. Our son is about 2 months from getting his full driving permit, so he drives it to school every day with me in the passenger seat and the dog in the back and we return home via the local park for a walk after dropping him off. I actually kinda enjoy driving it on short trips compared to the gigantic GLS AMG douchemobile and swear the dog prefers it too -- have to bribe him into the back of the Mercedes but the minute the Toyota tailgate pops he's in there like a flash. Seems like a downsizing opportunity.
Anyway, the car said son would really like is an FJ Cruiser -- which is possibly the most robustly valued, reasonably recent, used car that's not an exotic. Not sold in the US since 2014 and up to 100K mile examples routinely go for well over their original MSRP. Has become a bit of a cult car on the West Coast. His argument is that, given scarcity, depreciation will be minimal going forward -- which is probably true. And one of reasons people like them so much is they are extremely reliable. IDK, we'll see.

Has anyone else had issues with a key FOB going through batteries quickly? Our MB key has been going through them like every 3 months which is crazy.
When the car is parked at home, how far away from the vehicle are the keys kept??
If the key and vehicle are in constant communication the fob battery wont last long.
If the vehicle is left unlocked in a garage the car and key will remain awake searching for each other

For Mercedes, you double tap the lock car on the key fob. This locks the doors and basically puts the fob to sleep.When the car is parked at home, how far away from the vehicle are the keys kept??

For those of you who have had significant car appreciation, is anyone cashing in and buying a newer version?
Damn I wish I had one of these... View attachment 1670893
