You need to be more specific when you define a car as an investment.

Is buying a car an investment?


Good job on picking and choosing the definition that doesn't prove you wrong.
I chose that definition because that is what I was using it for. For example, the flow of this conversation is choppy. Does that literally mean that the conversation is flowing like a turbulent liquid? My original statement, by only using the word "invest", is a general use of the word. If the person reading wants to infer about my statement, well that is out of my hands.

If you wanna look at the word invest through a monetary view, then let's embark on that.

One, you are assuming too much. I recommended him to invest into it. You are adding all these hypotheticals to a simple recommendation.

Two, a car not being an investment is not black and white. For example, if a person were to flip cars (and not physically flipping the cars) as a profession, can you say that the car is not an investment?

Remember, I am not disagreeing with you; I just want to show you that it is not black and white.
