Only a fool would buy a brand new car, just to lose as much as 20% of it's value within the first year.
Even if I made 6 figure income, I'll still get a used car. last year, I bought a 2009 Civic coupe w/45,000 original miles for 5K and no rust. My current truck is a 2018 Taco w/17K miles when I bought it 2 years ago. It's now 17.5K miles... I drive less than 10 miles to work daily.

I've also noticed that at my place of work, majority of the salaried employees drive average car while the hourly employees in the plant have brand new car and trucks. Heck, our plant manager drives a regular jeep cherokee and my Engineering Manager drives a 2015 Ram pickup.

You grasshopper is poor for a reason.

Keep in mind that this is the same person that said Tesla doesn't exist just because the charging station is empty so he "don't get it"..I mean even Billionaires buy "used" autos for what ever reason:

"Why a billionaire couldn't get the truck he wanted — then had to pay more for a used one"
