I don't plan on selling my vehicle in the next year or so, but you never know. However, if I can get a good deal, I will definitely keep my order.
A car is indeed an asset. It’s not an investment but a depreciating asset by any measure. Whatever amount of $$ one owes on it is a liability. Basic accounting.
