Too damned expensive. I got a used luxury car for 27K early COVID, just before used car prices went nuts, after getting into a job making about 50K. I recently paid it off. I cannot reasonably afford or justify a vehicle that costs damn near a years salary or more (minimum) that also limits where i am able to travel and live (charger infrastructure).

That’s not even getting into the software and spyware nightmare new vehicles are today.
