The age old economic dilemma............ Unlimited wants / Scarce Resources
A car is just a tool to get you from point A to point B

However: If you have a small dick, you might want a fancy car to use as skank bait.
Does the OP have a small dick?
What's the point of buying a "premium" car? They're not going to increase in value as you drive off the lot. If anything, it's a waste of money.
Forget nice cars. Stock up on bullets and MREs.
Why not have it all? You can get to your bunker quickly in a nice A7, maybe take out a couple zombies along the way.Forget nice cars. Stock up on bullets and MREs.
Odd logic? How is my logic odd? In my opinion, It's illogical to spend lots of money on something that will decrease in value and that will inevitably need repairs and be costly after the warranty expires.This is odd logic. Maybe a personal opinion on your part but you can't just say there's no point to buying a higher end car. Of that they're a waste of money.
Again, what is your opinion of nice? Are you speaking of cars, handbags, shoes, clothes, jewelry? Everyone's opinion of nice is very different, but yes, in my opinion, I do have some very nice things.Do you own anything nice? Why?
Yeah I think I understand that not everything you purchase is for value. Previously I was a CPA by trade for years and I understand appreciation/depreciation of items. Real estate is sort of a weird beast. Unless you are just trying to flip a property, most people are buying a "nice or premium" piece of real estate to live in. Do you really want to buy something in the lower end of crapville for your family if you don't have to? BTW, I wish I had some damn gold right now.Not many things appreciate in value. Doesn't make them a waste of money. Even real estate, gold, ect. don't always increase in value.
LOL, this is just stupid! You go ahead and watch Inception on your phone and I'll watch on my 55" HD TV. Maybe some of us have bad eyes? lolWhat's the point of a 50" TV when you can watch the same video on your phone?
So let me say this with no sarcasm, ism and a genuine question. Really? Do they actually make new vehicles without power steering? I'm pretty sure that if a car comes without that feature, to add it on it would be pretty minimal and it won't be considered a premium car. I would suggest to you, to splurge and get power steering, cuz it rocks!Do you not prefer your package car to have power steering? That's a luxury. I still don't have it.
What's the point in having it? The truck still turns with out it.
Actually, I do think going out to dinner is pretty much a waste of money. But, it's a wonderful and fun thing to do every now and then with a loved one or friends. My first choice would not be McDonalds because I don't want to get a big fat ass.Isn't going out to a nice dinner a waste of money when you can get the calories at McDonald's?
You started this thread and apparently you didn't really care for my thoughts, so you questioned every one of them. That's cool, because different thoughts and ideas what makes this world a wonderful and interest place. You are not wrong for wanting to have the nicer things in your car. I say, treat yourself and do whatever makes you happy. A $12K car out the door? Come on, where are you going to find that?I could do this all day but hopefully you get my point.
A nice car is just that. A nicer car. It's more comfortable. Drives better. Usually looks better. Feels better. Has many useful features. These are qualities worth paying for to many people.
By this logic, why do you need anything more than a $12K subcompact?
My car doesn't even have power windows or locks. Am I wrong for some day wanting a car with power windows? Is that a waste of money?
dont forget how many divorced drivers we have! their ex wives have all the money.!Everybody is different thats for sure. At this stage of my career and life having an expensive car is a waste of money. More important things to concentrate money on such as loading up retirement money and paying off house by retirement. Definitely want to be debt free by retirement. Then with no mortgage ill buy that expensive car lol well all depends. Knowing me ill buy that old 66 to 77 ford bronco ive always wanted to restore since I was a teenager.
Having an expensive car is cool when your young but when you got big boy bills to pay it isn't so cool anymore. Id rather drive a station wagon and have a fatazz house than live in a trailer and have a Mercedes feel me lol.
I drive a 20 year old car so I can afford to fly a 35 year old cessna airplane
You, my friend, win!!
Seriously, I'm jealous.
(edit:Lycoming or Continental engine? I only ask because Lycoming engines were (are) built less than 3 miles from my house.)

I guess the question that should have been asked long before I wrote all of this is, what do you think a premium car is and how much is that going to cost? Maybe that is where we differ. Maybe premium is a whole different number to me.
