Probably because it's an unessecary expense. There are plenty of cheaper, older cars that are perfectly driveable, but people buy new cars to show off or something.

Because it's a stupid investment. You lose a lot of value once you drive it off the lot.

A used car has a lot better value and it doesn't lose thousands of dollars when you take it off the lot.


Fact of the matter is that most people make stupid investments, in all sorts of stuff. How many people on this very forum buy 100% useless $1000 anime figurines and other useless crap, but then turn around and say "omg don't buy a new car"!!"?

I'm not really saying that a car is a good investment, cause it's not but:

1. Not everything you buy has to be an investment
2. If you're on track for retirement, living comfortably, etc, then it's really no different than any other unnecessary monthly expense
