There’s nothing more inanimate quite frankly than looking at a paper bank statement or opening a lot of quarterly envelopes with dividend checks. There’s 2 ends of the spectrum on here on what constitutes value. If you like it and it’s fun, it’s highly valuable. Coming on a luxury vehicle segment, harping on gas and depreciation is not going to change most people at all in the luxury segment. Just as much as they are not rushing out to buy 20 year old vehicles and drive til they are in the ground. If you are a solo household or just a spouse, and just are about the cheapest A to B driving, great, we respect your choice. Works for you. But coming on here knocking those that have none of the issues you mentioned is off base. We are all curious and read about innumerable vehicles that we will never consider or ever buy. But others may enjoy a new ride, something with room or for a family, maybe want something as a much better upgrade, more features, more comfort etc. It’s like wearing a 23 year old pair of socks that you are tired of having. Even with garages, these daily drivers take their toll. Scratches, dents, worn paint and clear coat, worn interior and seat wear. Or just beat. Sorry, a lot of us have funds to pick up a nice vehicle. It’s not like out buying stocks. It doesn’t impact many of us in any negative way. In the end, people buy what they like anyway. If something upsets you so badly, simply look away or don’t buy. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
