A car doesn't need working heat and doesn't need to be cosmeticly pleasing. All it needs to do is get from one point to another
And nether of those things are needed for a car to be unaffordable. It is like you don't know what a car costs that works. used prices for absolute garbage is high due to the fact most of the market can not even think of buying new cars. Less new cars means less used cars later.
I guess my experience has been different
the car industry is digging itself a grave
yes it does, for safety reasons. I've been in scary situations with windshield fog before, I won't drive a car without a working heater
