    I live in a shitty neighborhood. The amount of Audi, bmw, Porsche SUVs is crazy.

      The trick is, luxury cars drop in value insanely fast. A 2 year old Audi is often about the same price as a new Honda. The problem these people don’t account for is maintenance costs. They think they are getting a deal, then they are getting dragged down by an unreliable vehicle that they can’t afford to fix.

        If memory serves, the outliers here are Lexus and Audi which both score high on reliability ratings. I could be wrong though, is been a couple of years since I looked into owning a car.
