I don’t know the difference between “what for” and “why”.
If you bought the car to drive to work, it’s instrumental. If you bought it because having nice cars makes you happy, its instrumental. If you bought it because you just prefer for future you to have a car, whether or not he’s happy about it or even wants a car, then it’s terminal.
As for why: you can answer to “why” with either “because” or “to” but you can only answer to “what for” with “to”. To ‘avoid’ confusion I prefer to use “why” when I want to get “because” and “what for” when I want to get “to”, e.g.
Why did you buy this car? Because I like it. What for did you buy this car? To drive to work

I’m not sure, are we talking about subjective or objective values?
What’s an objective value?
“existing freely or independently from a mind)”
How are you defining value then?
It sounds to me like objective value is a contradiction in terms.
Value is just another way to say that something is liked or disliked by someone.
I’m sorry if all this time you were talking about subjective values. I have nothing against them.
