Car insurance doesn't reduce significantly when the car is no longer useful.

sort of makes sense ish, insurance is mostly based on what damages you can make, so it would be partly based on the average cost of cars in the area. and if the car you buy is considered safer, it actually might be cheaper insurance than an older cheaper car.

which is also a problem to solve, by less cars, smaller cars, safer streets... also a luxury law on expensive cars, so if you get a fancy luxury car there's a limit on how much insurance will pay, so if you can afford a Ferrari, you can afford to replace it, who would everyone else have to pay extra in insurance for them?
