[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you want to?

FWIW, I could easily afford a Range Rover (DH is biglaw equity partner). I drive a Sienna, which is a far more practical choice. I prefer to invest my money rather than engage in ostentatious consumption. A car is a depreciating asset.

But it's a depreciating asset that many can easily afford.

I paid cash for a brand new Benz. And I did so because I wanted the peace of mind of knowing that the car would last just about forever with little to no problems. And that's exactly what I got. A darned good quality car.[/quote]

Is this your first car?  Because you sound like you know absolutely nothing about them. Benz's are not known to last forever, or anywhere near it. If you want reliability then there are much better brands out there. Don't lie to yourself about the reason you paid cash for that benz. High-end does not equate to reliable when it comes to cars, Cars 101.[/quote]

12 years later I have not had one problem with the car. The battery finally died at year 11. (I was told the battery had a shelf-life of 5 years.) The best thing is that it is still very new looking. People are shocked to find out its age. You know how you can see an aged luxury car a mile away? Not mine.

No need to lie about the reason I paid cash for my Benz. Clearly, it's because I could and had any choice of cars. This one's worked out for me. Don't regret it at all. Plan to continue to drive it till the wheels fall off. Exactly the reason I purchased it.[/quote]
