getting a fancy car is not equal to living well.

Get the most eco car you can find, get some snow tires for it, mounted on rims for convenience. Then do something good for the world. I don't get why people think driving a fancy car improves their experience of life. It sure as hell wouldn't for me.

I doubt you earn that much. The old cars are gone before HHI reaches 300k.

One of these is not like the other.


I assume you mean the XC90. Not PP but we bought the Cayenne because it was cheaper than the XC90.

If you were a car person and love to drive, this would be different.

But if you're doing this just to impress people or because you want to celebrate your HHI, don't. Spend the cash on something YOU like, not a car.


+1

+2. You’ve never even looked at a car on the road or in a commercial and thought, “I would love to drive that.” Don’t even bother.

PP, I couldn't care less if people are laughing at my "cheapness." The difference between us is that I don't buy things to impress others and don't use money as a way to make other people feel inferior. Anyone who knows us knows we aren't cheap. But keep feeling better than everyone. Hope that serves you well.

Since you won’t know any difference, just lease a Toyota Corolla

(If this is real...) I highly recommend test driving. I was surprised at what I liked and what I didn't. Crossed the Audi Q7 off the list as soon as I sat in it (I'm 5'2, and I would be that not one engineer with smaller stature worked on this car - it was basically all blind spots) and the BMW X5 - actually any BMW I sat in - have to reach WAY too far back to pull the seatbelt from the wall and honestly doing this twice a day every day would give me a knot in my back.

Weird picky stuff, but never would have discovered either - which would drive me NUTS - from reading reviews or listening to other recommendation. (went with the Volvo and really like it thus far, fwiw)

OP, leasing is for posers who want to appear richer than they are. Just buy the car you want (with cash) and replace when you like. That is what actual rich people do.

You think you're being clever, but our car payments as a percentage of our income is less than coffee is on yours. Who's laughing now (hint: it's us, at you )


DP. What a weird response. There are lots of rich people here. Do you think you are the only one? Based on your idiotic posts, you sound like you do. Get a clue.
