To: Tell It Right

Yep. It happens immediately. It’s why I only buy used cars. Cars are a depreciating asset.

It only happens immediately if you have a small’ish downpayment - but it is true that the second you drive it off the lot it probably loses 20% in value -

I drive a 11 year old toyota tundra, which I bought new - hoping to get another 10 years out of it if I can. NO desire to ever buy another new car or truck.

Roger that. We owe nothing on our 18 year old vehicles.
