LFA, SLS would be ok, but just randomly buying those brands is asking for massive depreciation. |

Date: March 10th, 2020 9:48 PM Author: Laughsome heaven This isn't me, just someone I know
SLS is one of the cars, and then some brand new Lexus SUV. that alone is between 250-300k.

|
Date: March 10th, 2020 9:54 PM Author: Laughsome heaven Why? Do they depreciate at a lower rate?
I rode in the SLS and was not very impressed, but I am also not a huge car person. |
|
Date: March 10th, 2020 10:05 PM Author: Doobsian Scourge Upon The Earth SLS is not going to depreciate much, will just move with the market. LX570 has the lowest luxury SUV depreciation behind the land cruiser (its a clone) and maybe the G-wagen (which is a fad which will be hammered later as merc is building a ton). Also, with the new big Lexus coming which will not be as good, it should hold value well enough. Of course, as a new car, it will depreciate.
SLS is a really nice GT car, it’s not really a sports car. I really like them and it is one of my favorite designs of cars. |

What do you think of the Tesla Model X? |
|
Date: March 10th, 2020 10:28 PM Author: underhanded chestnut ticket booth They should open like normal doors.
Model X is out now. Go test drive it. It is fine, but $130k or so to outfit one the way it should be. If you want a car that is somewhere between an SUV and a minivan while being faster than most Porsche 911s then that's your car. If you need something better off road then wait for the Cybertruck. If you think that's absurd and more than you need, there's always the Model Y, S, 3, etc. But yeah, I can't complain about cars that can do 0-60 in under 3 seconds. |
|
Date: March 10th, 2020 10:32 PM Author: Laughsome heaven Maybe I should test drive it. The latter are more in my price range though since I am not a richmo.
|
|
Date: March 10th, 2020 9:40 PM Author: flushed hot school cafeteria Real answer: it depends which cars. Some at that price level maintain their value or even go up even if you put miles on them. There are guys with probably a lot lower NW than that who are cycling through 600k in cars every 2-3 years with the net cost including maintenance only a couple thousand per month.

1) as a percentage of net worth that's utterly ridiculous. a normal person with say 1 million in the bank after saving for a bunch of years wouldn't then spend 100k on a car.
or
2) at that level of net worth it's unlikely you would exhaust your savings as long as other aspects of your life aren't ridiculous, so why not? |

That also depends on circumstances. If they are 30 and have "$1 million in the bank" but make $500k/year then if they want a $100k car then why not. |
