I explained this to my kids. To buy a high dollar vehicle to sit in your driveway from 6pm until 7am then drive 15 Miles to work where it sits for 9 more hours is crazy. But it'll look cool when you go to the grocery store until someone bashes it with a cart or door.70k+ for a commuter vehicle is retarded.
You can literally buy real estate for that. Just insane.
Buy used and let someone else eat the sticker. Drive it until the wheels fall off and then get another parking lot queen.
Invest the savings and retire early or work to support your car?
