I believe that from his comment ("what are you going to do with that in 10 years"), he was implying buying new cars. I see nothing odd in buying used ICE cars, but I wouldn't dish out for a new one at this point.

Now if you buy a used car for 10k now, you'll probably have a harder time getting value out of it in 10 years vs. EV.
