I completely agree but neither the OP, or I are talking about “true” luxury cars, we are talking about entry level, econo/luxo cars.
Paying $8,000 for a used 325i is not nearly as bad as spending $18,000 on a 100k mile 745i or the like.
But you are really preaching to the choir when you say this,because 2 of our members have highly depreciated $80k range rovers. I’d rather spend $25 grand on a used range rover any day over a brand new trail blazer, or rav4 ect.
I hope i’m kind of getting the point across
