New cars don't cost $40k in the real world.

Also, there is close to no second hand cargo bike volume so it is absolutely a fair comparison.

If I want to buy a vehicle I don't care if second hand cargo bikes are available or not. I know that second hand cars so exist though.

It is much better to view cars as a yearly cost, or a per mile cost.

Most people don't pay $40k up front, instead they pay $4k to $10k per year for a new car.
