I agree with you, though not about cars. And phones are rather cheap. And older computers can be demoted to more mundane but still useful tasks (of course, I don't buy a facility's worth of computers, so it's easier for me to migrate one or two computers downard). But an older camera gets pretty hard to hire out.
I'm packing right now for an interview we're shooting this afternoon. The tripod is a dozen years old. Part of main mic we're using is about the same (old but lovely schoeps 41 capsule with newer cmc6 preamp). The crew: older still...
But I basically treat most biz expenditures, from gaffers tape to computers, as expendables.
