Grammar
Meaning?
Hi all, I don't understand a sentence. Here it is:
A new car drops in value the second it's driven off the lot. Your car is a tool that takes you to work, but it's not a wealth-creating asset.
What does the underlined part means? Is it grammatically correct? How can restate it more clearly? Thank you.

The sentence is fine.
Consider this.
Assume you pay $20,000 for a new car.
As soon as you drive it away from the place where you bought it, it is no longer worth $20,000.
[ Because it is no longer considered to be new.]
