There’s just something about the prospect of purchasing a cool car. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to own a certain car because it looks slick, or your neighbor has an expensive car, and you want to impress the neighborhood with a similarly priced luxury car.

Depreciation takes a big enough of a bite out of cars, but adding unreliability to the equation can make matters worse.
