Everyone's got their fairly reasonable explanations as to why this is happening. Complexity in cars driving up cost and tanking reliability. Inflation. Tight finances. Public transit, work from home.

Cars in Cuba are personally owned, they're all old due to embargos.

Plenty of other poorer countries afford newer cars.
