However, there is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from buying a car of equal value that gets better mileage, and then selling their less fuel efficient vehicle. Sadly, it seems to be extremely rare that people actually do this.
I disagree with this, to an extent. My father always raised me this way. But he, nor his wife, EVER did ANY car repairs. Any maintenance.

We have A plan, and leased. Now, you did say buying, but for leasing, I m not arguing it s smarter than going pre owned, but...

Care free maintenance
Reliable car
New features every two years
Never buy tires/wipers, et cetera

For just one payment a month? If one thinks it is smarter to live in an apartment than house, they shoud be leasing, not buying.
