Unfortunately no one bought a @CamaroAt28APR, but the myFICO forum is full of people making awful decisions. Just the three posts on this page are
The first is someone making 180k/year with a debt-to-income ratio of 12% but has to take out a 6 year, 9.3% loan to afford a 58k car?
Then we have someone taking out a 7 year loan on a BMW that will surely be worth $0 by the time the loan is up. At least he gets that sheer driving pleasure
Finally is someone who cosigned on a loan with her husband but even doesn't know what she bought other than it's a 6.2% loan for 6 years lmbo
As a bonus here's an r-slur from a few months back

What I don't understand is, if they want a good driving machine, but can't afford it, why don't they just buy a 10 year old BMW? Sure maintenance will cost money, but way less than you lose on the interest and depriciation. And it will be an excellent experience to drive just as the new one.
Is it like an ego thing?

yes.
these are status symbols (in the US anyway)
the only old bmws I see around here are lawn ornaments
I only see them actually driving around when I go to bougie suburbs
poors shouldn't be buying for the 'driving experience' anyway
but those who must can find hondas or toyotas that will actually still be on the road in 10 years
and don't cost a fortune to upkeep
