BTW I think its total BS that cars are longer lived today than they were say 20 years ago. Look on C list for 1998 models. You wont find many....

The Miata is not cheap.Used Miatas cost a bunch, plus as was just mentioned, they are usually driven hard and put away wet.

You are misunderstanding. It is not that cars are longer lived, it is that the fleet as a whole is older than it has ever been. Aka people cannot afford to buy a newer car even if they wanted to.

And the average certainly is not 20. It is 11.4. If you look for cars made in 2002, there are tons of them out there on used dealer lots.
