electronic bikes makes that a moot argument, even motor scooters are a better investment. seen plenty of youtube videos of people in the surburbs getting thir shopping done on bikes. even the amish have gotten into using electronic bikes.
I found a kid on FB marketplace who came to my house and fixed my car for $300. I know a shop would have charged me way more, plus I would have had to tow it there.
But yeah, you’re likely either gonna have a car note or a you have to be prepared for the random maintenance costs.

Cash for clunkers ruined the used car industry,and created a new burden for the poor and middle class. Thanks Democrats for saving us from all that poison and pollution,we are good now
The issue is you're talking about "savings accounts". Not high yield, not a checking account that's collecting interest, or even CDs; not investment accounts...
Your money is supposed to be working for you. Not just sitting in a bank. My got damn 30k mile PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE service was $1300

Sounds more like you live in a fantasy land. Then try to blame everybody but yourself for not doing things the right way. Literally every penny counts. I can almost guarantee you dont have any kind of budget. I know where every dollar of mine is and what it will be in the future.
I used to work for a bank and the wealthiest people would call in to wonder why $2 and $3 in interest was missing from their accounts when they had hundreds of thousands of dollars in the account...
name a city where there aren't people who commute daily with a bike?

I'm not a mechanic and did a few repairs/maintenance that would run my pockets.
I changed my alternator 300 and got 100 back for returning the old one, the mechanic priced me at $700 (parts + labour)
Cars are low key like big Lego pieces, but don't get me wrong certain things only a licensed professional should deal with.
Every car (yes even the great ones) is a money pit. It's just the matter of how much money it's gonna take from you. If you are a car enthusiast it is not a cheap endeavor/hobby
To answer OP's question, I have no idea how people buy cars without savings accounts, that shyt is bananas to me. I don't buy anything I couldn't buy at least twice
