It's simple economics: When the cost of maintenance or repair exceeds the market value of the car, that car's basically junk, and parting it affords the owner an opportunity to make more money than if it were sold whole. Nobody likes that, but it's a fact.

Keeping an old car on the road comes to be a decision made from the heart.
