Depends on age, net worth etc etc. A bigger thing, IMO, is purchases like that tend to open the flood gates to more consumerism. You then chase that new [insert product] excitement. It also results in anchoring your expectations to a nice car for the rest of your life. That said, that's way less than most boomers making 300K are spending on cars.

Actually some of the phone integration shit could be valuable. Also, you get extra years of warranty in new cars.

Depending on the car, it’s often about the same tco to buy new vs uses. I’d suspect that the accord would be one of those since it probably depreciates slowly.

it doesn't depreciate particularly slowly. it's reliable but too many people have them. cars like the 4runner, many lexii, land cruiser, etc, those depreciate slowly.

Likewise and likewise. I found the best solution was to just use the car for its intended purpose during the day but then start a side hustle in the evening that will pay for the payment. There's a lot of money to be made when you have a vehicle and you're willing to go to extreme places.
