Would you spend you money on modest brand new car or rather buy top notch vintage one?

Well, try to insure 1M audio equipment.

Then you should have asked the question that way.

The subject here is not to compare cars vs. audio equipment, but rather buying new gears  vs. used.  

I did.  Read the elaborate explanation below the title. Can you?

A couple of years ago I purchased a very low-miles 2010 Audi A3. Not only was the value exceptional relative to a new version, but I actually prefer that cars were not yet so wildly over-engineered at that time.

The comparison to audio gear is largely apples and oranges, but in terms of buying new vs. used components, I almost invariably choose the latter.

My cars are 31, 24, and 23 years old. SO MUCH CHEAPER to keep older cars!! For the difference in price of JUST ONE new car, vs 3 already paid for, I can keep all 3 going strong for another decade!

…..And, have money left over for great audio gear!!!
