To buy or not to buy, that is the question. Would you ever invest thousands of dollars knowing at the moment you hand over your money, you have a guaranteed loss of 50% or more in just a couple of years? Of course not, you might say. But, you do it often - every time you buy a car.
I’ve been car shopping for my financial controller. She really believes that she needs to trade cars every two or three years. Of course, she does drive about a million miles in that time span. I don’t know where she goes. I’m just happy I don’t have to go.
In my life time, I have never met anyone that enjoyed buying a car. Nor, have I ever known anyone that didn’t get the deal of a lifetime. Ha-Ha.
The truth is that we are conditioned to think we need new wheels. Car dealers depend upon that. What amazes me is that in the current economy, they still want to make thousands on each car.
All it takes is a little research and one can find what a ‘real deal’ is. I understand they have to make a profit, but there’s profit and then there’s PROFIT.
I wonder if she - my financial controller - would like a pony?
