Even if you can afford it, not sure it would be worth anything in 10 years when the battery dies
I mean cars are the most famous depreciating asset*, but they're not that bad
*if you have the right model of car you can actually hold or increase your value
I could, theoretically keep my 2014 charger running indefinitely through parts and even a full drive train and/or engine swap from junked cars.
Those batts are fucked once they're dead, unless someone does the smart thing and makes hot swappable batteries in series.
