I'm not convinced that point is really the same, though. I believe the court would look at this in terms of what the customer would expect--and cars, more often than not, are resold before their usable life ends. Phones, not so much--that secondary market is more or less for people who would buy a new phone regardless of what value they got for their old one. Vehicle owners would be far more prohibited from purchasing a new vehicle without the ability to trade in their cars at a rate that fits a normal depreciation curve. I'm not an attorney so I'd be interested to hear a more educated perspective on this.
