Correlation – Nice car, nice house

[barnaby33]

NTSD, why does it matter. There is an E-5 who lives below me, but he drives a 7 series. Its so he can look fly when he drives his girl to Denny’s to order off the dollar menu. Differing priorities.

Either that or you’ve stumbled upon a lair of real estate agents and loan brokers. Ah faded glory.

Also why you see these 7 series so much more now is as preowned they are significantly depreciated….Lol.. Check this out..

http://www.carsdirect.com/used_cars/vehicle_detail/ul230206209/BMW/7%20Series

2007 750/57k miles: $37k… And that’s asking price, not final sales prices, which is mostly likely much lower… (What they don’t tell you is the cost of servicing/fixing these things plagued with electrical gremlins)

It also doesn’t help that the latest 7 series has been redesigned and looks different.

Lol… Why someone would pay full retail when new for the privilege of loosing $38k+ within three years is beyond me…Personally, I’d rather put it into my primary home for improvements, etc.

But you know…There’s also a snob appeal to these. Some folks that buy into the label would go “ewwe preowned”….And insist on shelling out dollars for new, even if they don’t have the dollars…

Also, within a 75 mile radius of San Diego, there are approximately
103 preowned 5 series for sale
65 preowned 7 series for sale

from one used car listing site itself.

So it’s a simple supply/demand thing. There’s much more inventory for these vehicles than people buying them.

P.S. Nazis don’t have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, so there is no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center.

As stated above, it’s likely a function of people deciding that while they cannot afford to buy a home, they choose to have a nice car.

Not entirely illogical. Most people do not think in terms of long term financial wealth… they want to get by and enjoy life now. They realize they will never be ‘rich,’ but want a taste of what they perceive as ‘the good life.’ Is that really so terrible? I think not. Perhaps they are happier than the miser who amasses wealth and drives a POS[/quote]
I like this post. As long as they don’t end up with nothing for retirement at the end and cry they are “entitled” to more money from the taxpayer, what do I care how they choose to prioritize.

And yes, life can be short. Things can and do happen.

There is much to be said for living it up in the present.
