[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well they mean they don't drive super interesting cars, which is true. And?[/quote]

It generally means they buy lower-key but still new and pricey cars. They avoid tacky flashy cars but still wouldn't be caught dead in anything cheap or used.[/quote]

We have lots of money and bought a used car. I'm not a car person and neither is my DH while we have young kids. We got a 2yo Mercedes GLC for a great deal and it works for our family. Why would we deliberately pay more than necessary?[/quote]

Well, you bought a GLC, so you already paid more than necessary.[/quote]

I know!  Lol. And being only two years old there’s a good chance there wasn’t much discount.[/quote]

It cost the same as our new Outback (which was a 2018; the Mercedes is a 2017). But the broader point is that people seem to have very different definitions for "car person." To me, a "car person" is someone who is interested in cars and knowledgeable about them. I am neither interested nor knowledgeable. That does not mean I don't care what kind of car I buy. I wanted cars with good safety ratings that fit 2-3 car seats and which came with heated seats. I also wanted something reliable (hence the Subaru), and DH wanted something that was more fun to drive (hence the Mercedes). The cars we have fit the bill and were affordable. insisting that everyone who drives anything other than a Toyota must secretly be obsessed with what their car says about them to other people is super weird. Most cars look the same anyway unless you're driving, like, a yellow Ferrari. I am curious about what your definition of "car person" is.[/quote]
