Considering driveability, Gerald’s skills are average in driving when not drinking, if not mediocre due to his age. Something he may have become aware of himself after his incident.
If you have higher reliability, you divide the service cost futher.
$500 service costs *15 / (trim reliability (41) - 40 (1)) = $7500
$500 service costs *15 / (trim reliability (55) - 40 (15)) = $500
…and if you have exactly 40.0 reliability, you divide by zero and destroy the universe!
and if you have less than 39 reliability the car becomes cheaper!

But you may still get binned.
