Offensive to sellers but have people gone over the cliff on Car values

I bought an '03 Monte Carlo new. I drove about 60 miles round trip to work,6 days a week, and had to have a dependable car. It lasted (250,000 miles) until I almost retired, when I switched to the 2000 Impala my aunt gave me. When I retired, I bought a 2013 Impala with 150,000 miles, (salesman's car for $3,500, highway miles, meticulously maintained) , and a new truck. Both of which I plan on lasting me for a long time. My last new truck I bought in '96, hope this one lasts as long. I don't plan on, and don't see any reason I would have to purchase another, as I don't drive 25% of what I did. I have more important things to spend my money on. Grandkids for one. If I was 30-50 years old, with the income I had while working, it would likely be a different story.
