Forgetting for a moment that a mass production car is not an investment and is always a luxury, you're not winning anything because the money you would have had otherwise could sit in investments and earn you interest.

Hoping that the cost of your car will be less in the future due to inflation is futile because that is simply a numbers perspective and the reality is that you are spending actual cash NOW for a product/service you don't have access to, and that's a raw deal if you ask me.
