"New vehicles are a terrible investment"
Haha only dealers invest in cars
An investment is supposed to bring you a return on the money you spent; vehicles are, with very few exceptions, depreciating assets, which is about as opposite as you can get from an investment.
If you drive a zillion miles, you're destroying the value of the vehicle, so it's still not an investment.Unless you buy cheap, drive a zillion miles back and forth to work for long distance daily with a vehicle that is almost triple the mileage vs the daily driver. Over the years, that investment will pay back, or break even. It’s not a huge way to save money though.
