I'm around 30 yo and make over 136K a yr. I drive a 1999 Toyota Camry with around 104K on it right now. Just a few weeks ago I did (by myself) a timing belt change along with oil pump seal, crank seal, cam seal. I have excellent credit and can walk into a Jag, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo dealership and finance/purchase any of their mainstream vehicles. If there is any issue on if I could afford it, I probably have enough liquid to purchase it outright. My philosophy is I drive a vehicle to get from point A to point B. As long as it's safe, reliable and efficient that is good enough for me. I will likely drive my Camry until the wheels fall off and it is beyond mechanical repair. I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about me based on what I drive.
Anyway tend to see people who drive luxury vehicles. My suspicion is....
1. Vanity issue, insecurity, stroke myself, status seeker, "emulator". (Probably 80 to 90% of the owners)
2. VP, Director, CEO (C class), Some MDs, Excess of 200K a yr (usually more) (5 to 10%).
I'm not sure if you're trying to suggest you're a bright individual by stating how much you earn, but are these the only reasons you could conjure up?
If so, you're simple minded...
