IMO the statement is justified when one looks at how much a car depreciates in 1-2 years. The only new car I ever made money on was a 1974 Honda Civic, brilliant small car for its time. I paid $3200 for it, sold it in 1981 for $3400, with 100,000 km on the odometer. I always preferred low km secondhand cars where someone else took the biggest hit on depreciation. Cars with a reputation for reliability, or technical excellence. I am completely immune to fashion. Most of my generation are. Smokers and drinkers completely ignore the statistics on lung and liver disease. Their lives, their choice. If you think moderate drinking is safe, you're wrong. Alcohol has had the designation of a Class 1 carcinogen since 1989.
