You are right, it is a status symbol. However, it's hardly an investment. Predominantly, when you invest in anything, you usually expect to see a return on what $$ you put into the initial investment. In this example, all I see is pockets being emptied at first glance, and then even more so as time goes on; not to mention depreciation.
