Excellent point. When you buy a house, you are getting all sorts of features and comforts unavailable if you were living in a shack. But if you are told that the roof leaks occasionally when it rains, and there is no way to fix the issue, will you still buy this house?
The value of a vehicle is not the sum total of its features. A misfeature or a lack of a feature can actually subtract from the total value. And the subtraction can be disproportional. If you were offered the most perfect and affordable car possibly built, but were told that once a year its brakes will unpredictably fail for a few minutes, will you still buy this car?
