Young Americans turning to older, less expensive vehicles
What happened
Young Americans are changing their car-buying habits, with some choosing older vehicles or forgoing car ownership entirely. Rising vehicle prices are influencing these decisions. Some are seeking cars they can purchase outright and maintain themselves, while others are opting out of ownership altogether.

MarketWatch leads with young Americans "giving up their cars" entirely, framing it as "a path to financial freedom" that "leaves them with breathing room to spend on other things."
