Sorry, this sounds weird to me. If I need a car, but cars are too expensive I should sell mine to buy another? So if I have a beater on its last legs, I should not have a problem buying a working beater because my broken one will be worth more?

Try this same argument with houses, unless you don't plan on living in one the math does not work.
