Because I've seen what people do with their vehicles. I bought my car new 13 years ago and I've been able to make sure it's been properly maintained the entire time and no one else's crud is all over the interior. I intend to keep it until it falls apart. Prior to that I had a truck I bought used and got maybe 5 years out of it before the transmission died with only medium mileage. I had maintained it but who knows what the person before me did with it.
That said if nothing changes with all this touchscreen infotainment shit I don't know what I'll do. I've hated every new vehicle I've been in the last few years.
