Still fixing up your clunker of a car instead of replacing it? You're not alone

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — With new and used cars still painfully expensive, Ryan Holdsworth says he plans to keep his 9-year-old Chevy Cruze for at least four more years. Limiting his car payments and his overall debt is a bigger priority for him than having a new vehicle.A 35-year-old grocery store worker from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Holdsworth would probably be in the market for a vehicle within a few years — if not for the high cost. For now, it's out of the question.“You’re not going to get one for a price you can afford,” he said.Holdsworth has plenty of company. Americans are keeping their cars longer than ever. The average age of a passenger vehicle on the road hit a record 12.5 years this year, according to data gathered by S&P Global Mobility. Sedans like Holdsworth's are even older, on average — 13.6 years.Mechanic Jon Guthrie inspects the underside of a 2014 Honda Ridgeline pickup truck at Japanese Auto Professional Service in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:05:09 GMT

Myrtle Klemp sits down at her piano and starts playing an old English folk tune:As she concentrates on “Country Garden” — ” …Roses, fox-gloves, snowdrops, forget-me-knots …” — her daughter sits next to her, filling in a note or two when needed. After the last note is played, Klemp’s two caregivers clap while her daughter gives her a hug.It is an impressive performance — especially at 107.For her three children, though, just having their mom here for another Mother’s Day is the best thing. After all, not everyone still has their mom when they are in their 60s and 70s. And she is still showing her kids (and her three grandchildren) the way.“I think it has been a wonderful blessing for us to watch her faith grow,” says Joy Klemp, her eldest daughter. “Her trust in the Lord has been the most important thing. She trusts God and she appreciates each day.”Not yet as old as Lillian, or Erna, or Maria &...
