I think the autorenew and the autoreplace should be merged into one window, and there should be an option to replace the vehicles only when they have expired. Now if you use autoreplace, the vehicles will be replaced immediately. But let's say you have a 10 year old vehicle, and a a new vehicle has just became available. You get almost no money for selling this old vehicle, and it could do its job for at least another 10 years. So if the new vehicle is just slightly better than the old one, why would you replace your vehicle immediately. It would be waste of money. If you use only autorenew instead, you will buy the old type again when the current vehicle expires. But if you have to spend money on a new vehicle, why would you not buy the newer type. So a third replacing option would be very useful. I found a request for this, but it's from over a year ago, so I wonder whether it's so hard to implement, or just nobody sees this useful enough to work on. I'm not sure that request was understood correctly though, so I decided to post this.

The new window could be similar to this:
