Is car a good investment in yourself? And I'm talking a really good car like an Audi RS6
>>62248957Most modern cars will depreciate heavily because today's tech will appear as bronze age tech in 10 years.
>>62248957>audi>goodoh this one's dumb
>>62248957A car is a good investment if you do not currently own transportation, but not that one.
Depreciation is not a linear phenomenon. Most cars depreciate heavily in the first 3 years and then do it at a slower rate. Check local info and buy a not very used car that has already lost value. Yes it's expensive and yes it's the Jews fault. Do u want a nice car or not
>>62248957I replaced my shitheap with a good car and it's nice but no women have approached me for sex yet and I haven't changed my lifestyle because of the car, I still do the exact same shit I did in my shipheap. Traffic is more tollerable however.
Cars aren't an asset or an investment (unless it's some boomer money classic nonsense); they are a significant liability with the benefit that they move you around. As you will be paying for insurance, fuel, taxes, and maintenance in exchange for that mobility, the least you can do is try not to throw even more money in on brand-image or specification.But, it's your choice, having a nice car that others (men) will appreciate is what many believe they exist for.
>>62248957No. Cars lose value rapidly. They are primarily a status symbol and not an investment.It might be worth it if you need to impress business partners or if you are ugly and want to attract women.
>>62248957If you want that fun release and high octane rush just get a cheap sports bike.You get to filter through traffic, wave to all the other motorbikes, go faster than some dork in an Audi RS6 and as long as it looks cool you get a lot of compliments because nobody actually knows what they're even looking at. Every now and then you get hot girls that want a ride and they have to wrap their arms around you.
You are riding a heap of plastic, steel and aluminium at diabolical speeds to go work. You are trusting it with your life daily. Accidents are common and outcomes depend on size, shape and safety features, which improve constantly. You are probably going to fuck up and crash or be the victim of a retard at some point. A good car will keep u alive and safe, on top of just making life more pleasant. That is worth paying for imo
>>62252839I have a work ute.Motorcycle crashes are extremely rare unless drunk or novice.Worst of all is a 45yr old midlife crisis that buys some big bike and thinks their experience on a little dirt bike 30yrs ago means they're an expert.
>>62248957>Is car a good investment in yourself?Yes, provided you use it to access better labour opportunities>And I'm talking a really good car like an Audi RS6Not unless your image is a big part of your earning/growth potential
>>62248957>Audi>Good:D
>>62252790>Yes it's expensive and yes it's the Jews faultJew here. Never owned a car in my life. My grandfather who died a millionaire never did either. You can follow the Jewish way, just do it Anon.
>>62249012I think desirable car tech peaked already, the 'improvements' are turning them into nany state surveillance ipads and people will start rejecting these new cars that are nothing but screens. If you snag a desirable car from this era and keep it in good condition it will probably hold its value.
>>62248957If You don't have a car already then yes. But definitely not picrel. Buy the cheapest brand new shitbox for the warranty so You don't have to worry as much and be done with it.
>good car>audi rs6how
>>62248957It's only a good investment if you get a lot options and a cool color to make it unique and rare like a Pokémon card
>>62252822>>62248957Even as a status symbol I think they suck. Mediocre ROI.Like an Audi RS6 is just a mid-level luxury performance car. It's only slightly interesting but realistically is going to cost you $150k after options and taxes, not to mention insurance and ongoing costs.Are you really *high status* driving an Audi RS6? No not really. People who don't know cars (99% of women) just see another Audi, a luxury but not so luxury German brand as BMW/Mercedes/Porsche. People do know cars see it, but they also just see a mid-level luxury performance car, which is slightly interesting but only slightly. And they'll be quick to say "dang, not an AMG, not a Porsche, lmao not an Ferrari" etc. If you doubt me walk up to random people you know or work with and ask them if they know what an RS6 is. Then add it's by Audi. See if there's any recognition in their eyes it's special or different than an A6 or S6 or whatever (beyond the fact you're bothering to talk to them about it). This is you directly questioning them too, if you didn't mention it they'd not notice it seeing the car driving around, wouldn't know anything is different unless they saw the badge.And people don't even see you with your car all that much.Better ROI as a status symbol:>Buy a used Audi A6 for $30k>Hit the gym, use your money to buy the healthiest shit that's always available that you can get down and fucking tailor your diet so you're not a fatass.>Buy 3 bespoke suits from Thom Sweeney or another good tailor ($24k)>Buy a couple MTM shirts and Hermes ties ($2k)>Buy a Patek, Lange or similar watch for $60k+Much higher ROI than some shitty performance variant of it. I'm sure you can do better but yes.tldr- high cost, limited recognition, recognition doesn't get you status, people don't even see your car that often
>>62254032>suitsMany bespoke suits kind of suck if you’re not a discerning client who can spot the mistakes of the tailor (yes, it happens with most tailors in the 7k-per-suit range too) and also guide them when it comes to style. Most Anons would probably be better off with good ready-to-wear options like Canali at least, up to Brioni, Kiton or Cesare Attolini if money is not a problem.>shirtsOkay for MTM, but good RTW is no slouch either.>tiesBetter buy 30 or 40 great-looking used ties for the price of 2 new Hermès ties IMO.>shoesYou forgot this. Expensive shoes with Goodyear welts, in the vicinity of John Lobb or Edward Green if you can (but Carmina or Crockett & Jones are good enough), are even more important than a great suit. Women will notice your expensive shoes and not so much your expensive suit. Avoid Italian shoes in general and all Blake stitches in particular and you’ll be good.>accessories such as belts/suspenders, watches, pocket squares, cufflinks, etc.Not to be neglected. But a watch that’s too expensive (60k as you suggested) is not really worth it IMO, most people don’t know and don’t care, and watch snobs will always bitch about it anyway.
>>62254032>It's pointless to buy an RS3 over an A3 because few people will truly appreciate the difference Makes sense>Spend $80k on a fucking watch and some tailored clothes from these specific brandsIf I were to suggest that you're not so intelligent or mature, would you kind of see where I was coming from?
>>62252994cool story browhats it like murdering children?
>>62254307>off-topic ad hominem>bad spelling>antisemiticYep, that’s another brainlet from /pol/!
>>62252994I guess technically if you stole the car it never really belonged to you.Important lesson here, Israel.
>>62254364The car belonged to us 3,000 years ago, but we won’t touch it anyway. Maintenance, oil and parking are costly.
>>62248957>good investment>a fucking modern audi rs6that's the polar opposite of a good investmentthere are actually cars that are good investments but it sure as fuck isnt a modern audi. my brother bought a 2nd hand tacoma, put 80k miles on it and sold it for $2k more than what he bought it for
>>62254218Yeah, but whatever, my point stands: However you wanna slice it you can get way further spending $150k status symbols than some mid-level luxury performance car.
>>62254230I'm simply saying if the dude's going to blow loads of money on a car like that in a "look at me look at me" sense he could blow less than that money and get further at his goal otherwise. Tastefulness of the goal not considered.
>>62254473No, I hear youDid you subconsciously get the "look at me, look at me" from 10 Things I Hate About You? Kat is really hot.
>>62254496No I've never seen the movie, I don't think that's a unique string of words
>>62254522In my head it is
>>62252790Cars lose thousands off their value as soon as you drive it off the lot.
selling my car a few years ago and using a bus was one of the best financial decisions of my life other than starting investing. a car is a liability. every time I step into my car and I see a new yellow warning light popping up I lose some years of my life due to stress.
>>62254383kek
>>62254463I don’t disagree with your point overall, just saying that the same goal can be reached by spending "only" 30k at most on clothes and accessories. The remaining 120k can be invested in more profitable ventures.
>>62254599Thank you for your contribution
>>62254364kek
>>62248957if youre under a mil in investments + own a house, spending over 100 grand on a car is peak retard goyim behaviour
>>62254334Their blind hatred for you is proof of their inherent inferiority.
>>62255264>blind hatredlol no.
>>62255264This is a troll post but I shudder to think there are people who actually think this way.
>>62248957I think it is. A buddy of mine bought some middle of the line classic car. Every time I'm out with him he gets stopped and invited to some car show or stuff like that. I think dropping like $30k to improve your social life is a good investment, and I would imagine its even more pronounced for luxury cars well above that. I don't think you'll ever make any worthwhile business connections with a nice car, but having a lot of social connections with others who can afford to waste tens of thousands is probably alright. I don't see what else you could even do with $30k.
>>62248957No, having a nice car will not make you a better person
>>62253074Something major will come along eventually.All tech has gap years full of gimmicks that don't age well.Remember multi cd players in the trunk?Multi cd players were the hot luxury gizmo in the early 2000's, made completely useless by 2005 when everyone had an ipod.But also shit like a rear-view camera was actually useful.
>>62248957Find an 8-10 year old use luxury car that's in okay shape for $12k-15kBuy it outright, take care of it, and you'll have a decent car that isn't embarrassing and is comfortable to drive for the next ten years.When people see you in an old car, they just assume you've had it for a while. As long as it's not visibly a beater, that's all you need.Don't get the cheapest beater you can though. A car's like a mattress/shoes/chair. You'll use it all the time and if it's an embarrassing piece of junk, it'll effect you psychologically. But you don't need to drop a fortune on a new car either.
>>62252795A nice car won't get you laid. But if you start seeing a girl, it'll help keep them around.
