Cars != durable goods.



Yes, you're correct by the definition. I was thinking in terms similar to those articulated more clearly in this comment by RyanHolliday: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2284071

A car loses 30% of its value as you roll it off the lot, and it continues losing value steadily until the cost of keeping it on the road surpasses the cost of buying a replacement.
