You must be talking about those 1-3k honda civics/accords and such. Im talking about big new car purchases including CPO.Of course those wont depreciation they have reached their bottom out.
End of the day I cant count anyones pockets but why would someone cut a check for a CPO of a $40k+ vehicle and upwards unless your a baller and dont care or like people told me some of those V8 M3s will gain value down the line and its an investment. Maybe im wrong.
Lucky im talking about big purchases. Dont nobody mind about buying those lil Hondas and Toyotas for 1k-3k as beaters. Of course its not gonna depreciate and thats for transportation only but thats not what were here for. Were here for leases and talking about those big purchase/CPOs dudes are cutting checks for. Cant compare that to buying TVs and depreciation. Those obviously dont depreciate at that point.
Maybe im just wrong but I been on all sides all the way to buying and flipping cars at the auction so idk how this "saving money" thing is that lucrative unless you have a +10 year old beater your keeping or one of those rare cars/out of production cars. Who knows
my thing is a Car is not a big purchase, or at least should not be.
If Diddy buys a bugatti thats a drop in the bucket to him. IMO the rule of them is to by a car that correlates to your income. So if a dude who makes 40k wants to buy a Benz, thats on him to worry about depreciation or whatever because he choose to play the game of swapping cars. Other people will buy what they can afford and use it up until they can't anymore.
If I buy a Honda or Camry for 20k new or CPO and say my note is 250 for 5 yrs, that car is going to get me no less than 12 yrs of use, so realistically I could start paying myself 250 after I`m done paying off the car and use that as a poor for a new car when the current one is done/has a repair that costs too much or even use that pool as repair money.
