Buy cars is generally bad for building wealth but I love cars...squeezing every cent out of a Camry, Accord, Civic, Corolla makes the most sense from a financial perspective so there is merit to it...I did it for a long time and now I want to try and stay premium (with the exception of the new Accord, it's pretty impressive kit).
You can squeeze every last cent out of a BMW. I've been doing it for 30 years now and over 850,000 miles.
