Buy a car in Cyberpunk 2077

cyberpunk-2077

I get constant messages from fixers urging me to buy a car.

Yet I wonder: Why should and would I invest money in them? They are not cheap, and apparently, I can't customize them.

And through progressing the story within my Nomad playthrough, I unlocked two bikes and two cars very early and they all seem pretty decent.
The Archer Hella EC-D I360 was shortly damaged but repaired early in the Delamain quest line. After Jackie's funeral I got his bike from his mother. As a Nomad, my old car got activated allowing me to buy it cheap for 100 Eurodollars from Lana. And during Panam's sidequest I got Scorpion's bike.

Is this merely a money sink to allow me to buy a fancy car for bragging rights?

Or are there some quests or races attached once I buy some of them?

There is no benefit other than having an additional choice to ride around in Night City.

There is a car racing quest with Claire from Afterlife, but you can always choose to pick her ride instead, and in one of the races you are even forced to.
