For myself I had a good income but I would have ruined myself financially buying such a car until a couple of years ago. Now I am 35 and if you wonder what I am doing that enables me to afford such a wonderfull car look at www.diberget.be

did you get affected by the huge diamond heist in Antwerp? I heard something about it in the newspaper recently. Most of my family in South Africa deal in diamonds, and some in NY too. I might get into it myself soon.

All-
I am interested in what all of you do for a living, it seems as if the majority are between the 25-30 year old age range and are doing quite well if they have a C32 and a decent place to live (which is hard to tell). Can you all state your occupations, Prasith32, what kind of company did you sell?
I am assuming the 17 and 18 year olds had their parents buy the car for them (which is fine). Just trying to get an idea how all these young people afford these 50K+ cars.
Thanks

As far as your cd changer he can probably hook you up!?

30 yrs old
Sales
Fortune 100 Energy Management and Facility Management Company.
Considering creating a start up tech co.
My view on this age range doing quite well is this - Between the ages af 25-35, there are 2 segments, those who have really hit it big (like this group), and those who barely get by.
Oh, and for those who's parents bought there car, GOOD FOR YOU... Tired of folks being down on this. I hope I can buy my kids a car like this!

this poll made me wonder how many of you actually bought it outright, and not have payments or leases
What's this have to do with anything???
I know a dozen brokers who would call anyone an idiot for buying a car like this outright instead of putting $$'s into the market.
On top of that, many of us are in occupations where a lease is most beneficial from a tax perspective.
In this thread, I read about an 18 yr old high school senior busting his *** to make the payments. Good for you man!!! Now that's commitment... I would bet my C32 you will be a success in life!

It's only math...If your only paying 5%-7% interest with MBC, I think 9 out of 10 times you will do better than that in the market, (if you know what youre doing) (say 10-12%), so why would you throw away all that money on the car, instead of making the money work for you. And Leasing IS better from a tax perspective for Salespeople. Especially here in Canada.
You see a hundred arguments on Leasing vs buying. The main one being why do you want to own a depreciating asset. Oh well, to each their own. Back to my original point, those who bought there car vs those who lease, or those who finance should't pass judgment like you do in saying that it's just a way to get a better car at a lower monthly payment. That's narrowminded. I can assure you that I for one have the financial capacity to own my car if I wish, I just see it as a foolish investment for ME. What you do is your choice and I respect that.

I agree with the salesman situation. Since i'm not an accountant, I can only assume that you are able to expense lease payments like a corporation. Either way, is doesn't matter as long as its fiscally sound.

Take it easy boys, No matter how you get your car purchased you still got one of the finest cars ever made so just be happy no matter how you finagle your way behind the wheel .
BTW I am 35 and the C32 is a company lease for my corp.
