If I have $500,000 I can buy a car that’s meticulously hand-crafted with hand-stitched leathers and fine woods in the interior with an engine built by hand by a single person.

But I just need to get from point A to point B so I have a $10,000 used car.

Or you could get one with a better service history, the paint job and interior is in better condition, and it has the optional extras and a recent cam belt change for $12,000.

It depends whether you think the extra cost is worth it.
