You can't. You have to eliminate them from market.
You can spend, $30k, $40k, $50k+ on these things and pay the now average 65 month long loan up to 84 months.

I love how almost all vehicles that have been built since 2000 (and earlier) can last over 200k miles with the factory maintenance schedule before needing engine/transmission work, but 6-7 year loans?!?
