So a basic BMW 3-series (with lots of extras but no M3 - just a 4 cylinder) now costs 70000 eur. Meanwhile the criminal thieves at central banks are lying to us telling "there is no inflation" and manipulating the CPI index to not include car prices (or house prices).

In Germany you can configure a Volkswagen Golf up to 60k. Most people here learned the best way is to lease them, considering the cars lose their value extremely fast. Hell, the BRAND NEW BMW M135i lost 13k euros in value after only 10 months. And we're talking about a compact car. Ridiculous!

Usually it was great idea to buy used. Like 10 year old car. But now prices for used cars have inflated so much that it almost is worse than taking a hit of new car depreciation. Also because you now can get practically zero interest rate loan for new car.
It sucks in both scenarios basically. New cars are overpriced, used cars are overpriced. But using public transportation is like death sentence these days...

I kind of analyze fun cars every week and decide which one is probably the best to buy earlier or later. I'm also not interested in buying new anymore: too much tech, unreliable, and it takes the fun of driving away completely. Even modern supercars can be easily driven by a teenage boy (not to its full potential but in a way they don't immediately snap oversteer).
Public transport is a disaster in Germany. I mean I've been in Berlin and Munich and it works there, but if I wanna travel like 50 kilometers by train I must pay 10 euros for a ticket. Absolutely ridiculous. No wonder people rely on the car instead, which again causes lots of traffic.
