Most new luxury cars are leased anyway... especially in NY.



Have you ever been driving on a highway, noticed how many BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi vehicles there are, and wondered how so many people have the money to buy all those fancy cars? (I have.) Well, in many cases the drivers may not have the money because they don't own the cars!

Industry-wide, leases comprise about a fifth of all new vehicle registrations, but within the luxury market, lease penetration is more than twice as high at 45%. Three premium makes: BMW, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz, actually have national lease rates at or above 50%.

Furthermore, several popular compact premium cars have lease rates above 60%, with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class approaching 70%. Leasing is not limited to smaller vehicles, as all five of the leading large premium sedans have lease rates above 50%. Two of every three 7-Series are leased.

yea, though the 'retail' distinction is unclear, the asterisk at the bottom of the image denotes retail lease/total sales; which could include used sales?

NT's obsession with the next man's pocket has got to stop. Especially when most of the concern and vitriol comes from people with no significant change of their own.

It comes from our materialistic society. When people worship other people just because they have money it brings out the vitriol. You got the vitriol on one side and on the other side you got people acting like they'd be ok with a rich person raping their mom because he's rich so let that boy cook.
 
Lol I love this thread.

Anyways, I always laugh at dudes and females that be rollin in a 3 series or c class thinking they flexing and straight finessing. Hell, even in a e class or 5 series (besides a amg or M). Don't even get me started on the Infinitis :smh: :lol:

I'm not even going to go into detail about the cars I have or have had because people on here will think I'm lying or trying to e-stunt so whatever (that's NT for ya). Never entry level though because I'd never buy a car for its badge, which is the case with entry level euro lux car.

Anyways, I'm over European cars and really thinking about getting a camaro 2SS, maybe with the 1LE package. Damn that car is so nice to me. People that say all American made cars are made poorly and are bad cars don't really know jack **** about cars and usually drive euros just for the badge. Call me a hypocrite because my daily driver is a high end luxury European but I'm over it. It the kind of the car that people idolize but once you have one its like "yeah whatever". I've had it for a while though.

At this point of my life, I'd take a camaro ss, srt8 challenger or charger over a European luxury car any day. Yeah high end European cars are luxurious but where's the fun in that? To me, luxury European cars are like the concord 11s from a couple years back. Yeah everybody wants one, but they aren't anything special. And they are so cookie - cutter ish nowadays. They make people emulative, to the point where people get them just to keep up with the joneses. Everybody is getting Concords, so I need them too.

Don't get me twisted, I like HIGH end European luxury cars because they are (some of them, most aren't) actually luxurious, but they are part of this act most of America is trying to put on. Everyone wants to look rich and wealthy like their favorite celebrity. People want to look like they have money and are balling, but how in the **** are you balling on a car note? I've NEVER leased any of the cars I've had and wouldn't do it. Besides faking like you got the cash, leasing is a bad investment, but that's a different story.

Anyways, this rant might not make any sense to some y'all and may seem like I am rambling but whatever. And **** grammar and spelling, I'm typing this on my phone lol

Rant over

Okay dude, who the f*** are you? If you ain't like what I said, why you comment?

I don't have a problem with the cars themselves, just the fake finessing.

I must have said something that applied to you and got you in your feelings.

You seem hurt.

Now go flex in that C250 with the AMG badging.

1. I'm on my phone and cant see your sig, nor do I give a damn.

2. Google it sonny boy.

3. Your mad and very immature. I don't argue with kids. Have a blessed one.
 
I see most of NT is still trying to 'justify' themselves for, more or less, being below average to average consumers...

(Again)
 
Let dudes do whatever they wanna do. Some of u guys pass judgement so easily, it's amazing.

Don't be a ****.
Just be NICE.
It's THAT easy.
 
A lot of "I laugh if I see ______, if you really want to be doing it get the car I could never afford so I can live vicariously through you".
 
I will never get why people worry about the next mans problems or priorities when they are doing fine. Every auto manufacturer has an entry level whip . Hell aston has the vantage dor theirs, you think if I pull up in a vantage and come out the bisch doing the Carlton/ Courtney cox dance I'm going to be worried about what somebody is saying watching me get out of the car enjoying me life ? Dudes need to get a grip on reality. I also find it funny y'all come on here an rant and vent about these type of things but won't confront or tell that person how you really feel .
