It boggles my mind to my friends and acquaintances routinely drop over $10,000 for cars, even used cars. It actually caused me momentary physical pain when a woman I know told me she just spent $15,000 on a new (used) car and donating her old car to charity “because the brakes on my 97 Toyota failed while me and the kids were on vacation”. As if it never would occur to her that after owning a car for 12 years you might need to check on the condition of the brake lines at all four wheels and perhaps replace them., and that after they are replaced they won’t fail.

But I’m glad someone is doing it because if everyone was like me there’d be no good used cars around to buy!
