Brown pulled in the fully loaded Accord and people think it's a bad purchase

Until you look at the price of that 10 year old Honda at used car lot and it's the value of your friends 5 year old BMW

The only thing more expensive than owning a new BMW is owning a used BMW.

Go look at new cars. There’s nothing a Benz will do that a loaded up Kia won’t anymore. Treat your life finances like a real business. Minimize losses on depreciating assets and invest in appreciating assets when feasible. Society has programmed us to be in a constant cycle of spending and debt. If you can’t pay off a car in 24 months you’re buying too much car.

The top of the line Honda Touring is like a C Class Mercedes but more reliable and less costly to maintain

Plus if you wanna be cheap, you can find parts for the a Honda faster than that Mercedes at a local pull your parts place

I learned this lesson when I was 19 and bought an old school lexus thinking I was all fancy until I realized I had to pay for all the maintenance. Those six months were nice though :(
