I can afford a Maserati but I have decided investing my money is more important..so I buy a Honda.

although "investing" in a depreciating asset is not good investing in the true financial sense but your point is valid -lots more depreciation in a Maserati. BTW, depreciation won't be THAT much less for a PassPort. It's the TOTAL value of the depreciation that counts. (for instance as an example, $10,000 vs $5,000.

I worded that incorrectly....did not mean that buying a Honda is an investment....no car is an investment..unless you mothball it for 20-30 yrs...all cars depreciate.....Meant to say buying a honda is a smart vehicle to purchase for a longtime holder..You should only invest in an asset hat stands a good chance of appreciating in value.

No problem. I was I was just trying to support your reasoning in a correct manner more for all forum members than yourself. I have similar dilemma/reasoning as you describe.
