The Worst Investment You Could Ever Make?

Or this

I mean seriously, what other large investment do you know that instantly drops 20% or even more from the moment that you buy it? Just try buying a car like that and reselling it (no matter if it’s to the dealer or on any type of website such as eBay?

Why do we keep doing it? I guess to some degree we have extra money and we expect that buying that brand new car will bring enough joy and pleasure to compensate for all of that lost value.

But tell me, is the investment return part not relevant when buying a car?

A car, like any other item you purchase that depreciates in value is an expense, NOT an investment 🙂

I do not think most people buy a car as an investment.
