We say auto makers are a mafia, when we have baby mafias right here defending their "investment" in a car and comparing it with real estate.
Try and find the meaning of real estate and you might understand why the value appreciates. its literally called real for a reason.
"investing" in autos to secure a profit aka own, is simply to short the product and then sell it high, its manipulation and nothing else. you wanna call it a legitmate business so you give your ownself some (ill)logics but please dnt indulge us with your delusional and twisted logics.
"Scalpers" is a term coined for people who high re-sell general purpose stuff by shorting it in the market, it started with people like you who sold cinema tickets in black.
