OT- Anyone buy or trade vehicle lately?

how much value does a new vehicle lose the second you drive it off the lot?

Show me any other investment you start out at 50% loss from you initial investement, and prove to me that it is a good investment. Whether I buy a vehicle that is 3 years old, or brand new, the liklihood I spend any money on it towards repairs is basically 0.

So why would I spend $100k on an investment, when I can get the same value by spending $50k?

Um, today you are not losing 50% of the value of the car the second you drive it off the lot (check out used car prices). In fact, you never lost 50% of the value of the car the second you drove it off the lot. This is coming from a guy who has never bought a new car, so I have no agenda.

Okay, so show me how in a normal economy it makes sense to buy new. It might make sense now for sure, but that's bc our economy is ****ed.

Well, this thread is titled "ot anyone buy or trade vehicle lately".
