Lol, buying a new car every 3 years. WTH!!?? Mercedes isn't even in the top 10 for reliability from any reputable source. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/who-makes-the-most-reliable-cars-a7824554938/ https://www.businessinsider.com/most-reliable-car-brands-lexus-toyota-hyundai-chevy-jd-power-2023-2?op=1#8-mini-tie-7 https://www.motortrend.com/features/most-reliable-dependable-car-brands/ Yeah, congrats, you have money to burn buying an extremely unreliable brand for triple the price. And then when there are any repairs you have paid a premium for the car just to have the privilege of paying double the price of a typical repair. Toyotas are just tanks you hardly ever need to repair and waste time on. I don't care if you take it to the shop and get free loaner. The most annoying part you're forgetting is have to take the damn thing to the shop in the first place and then going back with the loaner again in order to get your car. Waste of time we don't want to have to deal with. |
$650k pre-tax. I drive a 5 y/o Honda Odyssey, and my husband drives an F150 he got last year. |
$350k - 2010 Subaru Outback and 2016 Honda Fit
Expensive cars do not bring be joy. I like a car that is relatively inexpensive, gets good gas mileage and is hassle-free. |
HHI is 250K. We live in the city and only need one car - it's a 2015 Chevy Trax with ~70K miles on it |
I don't pay for repairs, everything is under warranty. I have driven Toyotas and they are just so cheap looking inside and not comfortable to me. We can agree to disagree. |
Once our HHI was over a million there is no way I’m driving a Toyota or Honda. I get the reliability but other cars are so much nicer. |
350k HHI combined.
2007 Camry. It just wont die, so we'll keep it until it stops working. Who the hell wants to shop for a car? Sounds like hell these days. When it dies, will just buy whatever the best rated EV is on consumer reports. Hopefully they can deliver it, since I really want to never go to a dealership. |
I’m utterly confused by this response. I’m doing my job from home. What on earth is fraudulent about working in yoga pants? I spend my day advising clients from all over the world. I earn every dime and pay taxes on all of it. I happen to like what I do, it happens to pay well, and it happens I can do it from home in comfortable clothes so that’s what I do. Good luck finding something to prosecute me for. (PS: I heart the DOJ attorneys I’ve worked with. Sorry if the suit is getting you down.) If I wanted to impress you or anyone else, I would dress the part and put my wealth on display. My point was that you can’t read a person’s NW from the outside: there are people who live above their means and people who live below it. I’m the second kind. It’s not a crime. |
True. I got lucky. I did put in my time when I was younger so you’re not wrong on that. And I work plenty of hours but I don’t have to travel much and am good at finding the interstitial time so my kids don’t pay a price. |
