Just like when people "profit" off of their home sale. So you bought for 300k and sold for 400k, nice. But how much did you pay in maintenace over the years? People get funny with numbers to justify arguments.

I know that just triggered a few people that sold a car/truck during a 6 month period between 2021/2022 when the supply/demand was out of control for hot minute. Now its back to reality because the mouth breathers stopped paying 5k above asking price for chevy's.

I know toyota holds value, but "holding value" is slang for less of a loss. Virtually every single car $0-$100k depreciates dramatically a minute after you buy it, then year by year it gradually declines. If people made money buying cars new and selling them two years later more people would do it...
I’m pretty good with record-keeping especially things like receipts for parts and servicing etc because the buyers want them.

With the s30 I did what’s called a “bare metal respray” but kept track of every tin of paint stripper, sanding disc and etch primer. All receipts for parts from Arizona z-car shop. Even putting a generous allowance for mine/friends time it came nowhere near the sale price.

Also with houses, if it’s an investment property your accountant will either have claimed maintenance costs in the year they were incurred, or if it’s a capital cost they will add that into the cost base for calculating the capital gain. So it’s all accounted for.

Lower quality toilet paper and paper towels. Yeah, it's true that you can get like twice as many rolls if you go with a cheap brand. Doesn't really save any money in the long run when you have to use 2x - 3x more to get the same wiping job done, though.


Cheap dishwashing/laundry detergents. Same thing as cheap TP/paper towels, you just end up using so much more of low-quality stuff that it ends up not mattering.
