Prolonging car-buying, they say, means fewer cars purchased during one’s lifetime, a problem for the auto industry.

I bought my first car when I was 36. Compared to friends who got their first car when they where 18, the main difference is that I've bought 1 fairly nice new car in my life and they've bought 1 fairly nice new car and 5 pieces of crap. By the time we're both 65 we'll probably have spent about the same total amount of money buying cars in our lifetime.
