What percentage of luxury car owners do you think are living beyond their means, versus your actual luxury vehicle owners?

I often wonder about the people who drive late model luxury cars, on the rare occasions I see them in my town. Are they killing it? Or did they buy it on finance to compete with the Jonses?

All of the luxury car owners near me are beyond their means, because if they lived here because they’re frugal, they wouldn’t own the car.

My "this is what I'd do if I was super rich" fantasy isn't a ferrari or a rolls royce. It's having a driver. I find car ownership and driving stressful.

And at that point you go and buy a Rolls-Royce or Bentley because you find that they are very suitable for a backseat passenger.

Some people don’t care about the newest, shiny thing. They just want to buy the best thing they like when they’re in the market for it and then use it until it needs replacing.
