You sound insufferable but how exactly can you look at a car and know it’s leased?  Are you one of those people who just can’t imagine buying a car that’s more expensive than the one you have?[/quote]

DP here. IME leasers are MORE than happy to tell you all about it and try to convince you that its somehow saving them money.  :roll: [/quote]

Old money are typically in Subarus or 20+ year old Land Cruisers.

If they're boomers they still might be driving that boxy old Volvo wagon from when the kids were little and it still smells from the dog they took on vacation.[/quote]

No way. This is commonly posted on here and isn’t true.  Drive around old money towns like Greenwich, CT or even less known locations like Litchfield, CT and it’s full to luxury cars, especially Teslas.  I live on a street with families that often are third generation business owners and not a single one drives an old car.

Maybe people drove old cars in the 80s/90s but that’s not a thing anymore.

Ah, then you've never been to Aspen.  Can't convince me that any car is more common than a Subaru.  Also can't convince me that old money flocks elsewhere to their vacation homes.[/quote]
