I wish I had enough money to afford to buy a new car, I probably wouldn't do it because affordable would still mean living paycheck to paycheck. Not sure why I would want a second mortgage on something that depreciates that quickly.

I don’t want a new car. They lose most of their value the first time you start them up, and then continue losing value quickly. And then there’s the emissions of manufacturing and transportation.
Plus there aren’t any new cars that don’t have features I actively don’t want, like sending my usage information back to the manufacturer.
Both cars I own are about 9 years old and I plan on keeping them until they’re more expensive to fix than another used car.

Mr Bean made me buy a Morris Mini
It's cute how they blame Rowan Atkinson, when we all know who's fault this really is... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkrcxLgHn-w
