True, but a vehicle is a depreciating asset. We all know and expect that even before we make the purchase.

I guess the difference is that we don't buy cards and expect them to depreciate (although that is a possibility). We may not necessarily expect them to appreciate in value, but we certainly don't go into the purchase expecting them to depreciate (like we do a vehicle).

Unless his vehicles are vintage, then they can certainly appreciate. I remember seeing Ferrari Dino's selling for under 40k-50k just 8-10 yrs ago. Now they go for 200k+....
