When we buy a new car, it's a newer or upgraded model. You can't buy a new 1985 Ford Mustang. In spite of your desire, you can only buy a new 2010 Ford Mustang. But the newer model has more safety advances. It is less polluting. So it is better.
Houses are different. If you want a 1790's home, you can build yourself a 1790's home. You can decide whether you want electricity, running water, and indoor plumbing. It's a choice because you have money, the skills and materials are available.
In Congo, poverty keeps people in a different time zone. But if you have money, you can make the time shift. For example, you can build a house with tin roof instead of roof made from palm fronds.
