When I was in high school in the early 80's the student parking lot was literally half full of Chevettes or Pontiac T1000s with an occasional Ford Fiesta or Dodge Omni thrown in. They had absolutly no resale value, which is why they were popular with kids cause they were cheap. The other half of the cars were old farm trucks, or 70's era family trucksters (my group), or old muscle cars that had no resale value thanks to $1/gallon gas.
By the time I went to college in the late 80's Escorts had replaced most Chevettes. I can tell you they didn't last as long as either. But, like the Chevette, most people drove them 'till they fell apart because they just weren't worth anything on a trade in.
