What car would help me fit in with rich people?

buy a decently clean not base model e38 or e39 and act like it was passed down from your parents who bought it new

>implying you won't get treated like absolute shit because you're not one of them
>implying they won't see through your ruse the moment you drive up
>implying you won't get passed up for the next idiot
>implying

Uber car driven by a nigger, instant prestige

Feels like the good old times

>5k
>expects to fit in with rich people
Oh, there goes that guy again who thinks he's rich.

Rich people don't drive fancy cars, I know that all of my radiologists drive priuses; one of the ortho docs drives a corolla and a old school toyota pick up. The people who drive the cars you think are nice are generally young professionals who are just up and coming maybe 70k+, and car guys.

Then is right

You're soul is already dead

Audi a8

Rich people don't drive old clapped out, used luxury cars. A brand new leased Kia would impress them more. There's also more to fitting in with rich people than wearing fancy clothes and driving luxury cars. Rich people carry themselves differently than normal people. They can show up in a shitbox wearing Walmart clothes and still look boss.

>this is what poorfags believe lmao

This, 3k civic, 2k in uber rides.

>cars of people I know who are worth more than 10 mil

Mid range black F150
White Malibu
Red Taurus
White Taurus
Silver 911 Carerra GTS

They keep them for around 4 years, then replace them, all current model except for the 911 which is from 2011.

If we extend it to millionaires, the only real constant is no Japanese cars, and only foreign sports cars. Most of them drive boring cars with lots of seating and storage, that cost around 30k new. Wives drive specced out SUVs though.

It's not about constantly throwing money around, they drink above average wine as a rule, but have bottles worth over 200 in the cellar. They wear nice clothes, but own at least one suit worth a couple grand. They live in decently sized houses, with well made furniture and appliances.

New money buy fast cars and nice watches but don't even get their suits tailored. In general the only constant is EVERYTHING they own is nice, they don't need to skimp on anything because they can afford not to. Most people here could easily afford any one item frequently used by wealthy people, coffee machine, wallet, even car. The problem is buying ALL of them.

Wallets are probably a better example, nobody is walking around with a 3k wallet, but none of them cost under 300. Midrange, nice things that do their job without being excessive is what rich people buy, at least in my experience.

No car will help you fit in. You're not one of them and never will be. Kill yourself.

the average millionaire drives a used mid-budget car
rich people are rich because they don't spend extravagantly

>no Japanese cars

roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a33393/the-4000-car-that-all-the-millionaires-love/

A volvo.
They're luxury interior and ride but without the price and connotations. It's a rich man's car that won't attract attention and people coming up to you in parking lots and gas stations telling they're out of gas and need to get to X and have their kids/dog in the car

>this is what poorfags tell themselves

most rich people are normal fags and see cars as nothing more than appliances.

it's like the difference between someone who is into photography and someone who isn't. Most rich people take pictures with their shitty iphone camera's while serious photographers spend upwards of $10k on gear.

there is also the issue of wanting to blend in, rich people are usually smart about not showing off their wealth too much and drawing unwanted attention.

WHO IS THIS SEMEN DEMON

I'm speaking from personal experience obviously, do you want me to tell you I know a millionaire who owns a Japanese car when I don't?

For fucking Wyoming, yeah, the subaru actually reinforces my point. It just werks, and people generally don't throw money around on stupid shit.

And most rich people still drive around in cars worth at least 60k$. Youre full of bullshit

>The median price paid by millionaires for their most recent acquisition was only $31,367. The typical price paid by decamillionaires was $41,997. . . . many millionaires drive so-called common, nonprestige makes of cars; . . . .

Nearly 20k off, and do you even realize how much fucking money 10 million is?

Also, to someone elses point, I'm not going to reread the thread to find it, yes that is the MEDIAN price, not the mean. Nobody is driving around in shitboxes, and the number isn't heavily skewed by outliers (for those of you who don't know what median means)

In what fucking shithole do you live where the wealthy people drive shitboxes lmao

a very standard 'classic' from the 60-70s. buy a shitty old car, tell ppl it has more 'character' than leasing a current bmw. say you always wanted one as a kid and that it reminds you of 'who you are'. say your dad had one or some shit, and that it 'grounds you'. say you were on the mercedes lot and saw this for sale across the street and it reminded you of some shit, a movie or something, and you bought it on the spot... because 'nostalgia has no price' (but spending money impulsively always feels more like a rich thing). just keep it generic enough, and not too hobbyist/enthusiast feeling.

like this mustang:

or this jeep:

I'll take reading comprehension for a dollar.

>RICH PEOPLE DRIVE THE SAME CARS AS ME THAT MEANS IM RICH STOP BULLYING ME

Also your study means shit when most expensive cars that arent sportscars are leased

why would you want to fit in where you don't belong?

>RICH PEOPLE DRIVE THE SAME CARS AS ME THAT MEANS IM RICH STOP BULLYING ME

I drive a 6th gen civic hatch, I don't think any rich people drive the same car as me.

>new car for over 30k
Yeah I fucking wish

Also, rich people don't lease cars, what the fuck are you on about. Rich people don't even get mortgages on houses.

>inb4 assumptions and nonsense
I watched a man pay 700k lump sum for a 3rd house. Why in the fuck do you think these people would lease a car?

Regardless, I have both studies and anecdotal evidence, whatever that is worth, you have NUH UH POORFAG.

While I am personally a poorfag, the rest of my family and extended family are all loaded, so I grew up pseudo-rich I guess. My family isn't a bunch of faggots though, so I had to buy my own car, pay my own rent, etc.

If we're talking about fitting in with rich people, play golf. Everyone fucking plays golf, it's ridiculous.

>Rich people don't even get mortgages on houses.
This HAS to be bait. no way...

Any super clean 80s euro car.
Most 80s super clean Lexus.

Any of these cars if kept in perfect condition will be seen as a well off man. When people ask you why you drive an older car, say you just prefer how things were made in that time and how all the new technology just gets in the way blah blah blah. They will all nod along and him and haw.

But it needs to be SUPER CLEAN. The wheels need to be stock or similar and refinished like new or shined at the least. The paint needs to be perfect. All the trim must be in the correct place and it can't be faded. The interior better not have any tips or stains and it shouldn't be very worn.

There's two well off businessmen I know around here. One drives a very clean e30 in red and the other drives a better than new looking LS400. They are almost definitely cars they bought new back in the day and have kept everything perfect on. When they take a client out to lunch or they roll up somewhere, there is instant respect.

The idea apparently is if they can keep a car that perfect for that long, they're going to do what ever they do the same way; perfectly.

Pic related. Same thing except hard top and 4 door.

a super clean e30 would be way more than 5k

Why would you get a fucking mortgage, your credit score? They all have centurion cards anyway.

so you can buy even more properties

An older corolla or camry

Those are pretty hard to find, my guy.

>5k or less

learn to read nigger.

>he thinks rich people buy old pieces of shit

>Me cum
What did he mean by this?

You aren't going to find any of these cars like that. The point is OP can buy one and then put in 100 or so hours of work into it and get what he wants.

Op isn't going to just buy a car for 5k with what he wants. Us poor folk have to work hard to make our things nice.

>Missing the joke
There's no such thing as an '80's Lexus.

>As the first model developed by Lexus, the LS 400 debuted in January 1989

>missing the joke that the only 80s Lexus is the LS400 mentioned in my post
Please see

It varies. I work in a very high net worth area and have lots of extremely wealthy clients.

Some who are multi millionaires do turn up in Corollas/Prius/Mazda3s, others in McLarens/Rolls/Ferrari etc.

One of our clients is a billionaire he has a 7 series and an X5. Possibly has other cars but those are the only two I know of

Or you're working at a piece of shit institution. Half the doctors I work with drive Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, etc., 2012 or newer.

i see what you did there
as a model year 1990

anything new enough not to stand out, nobody cares what you drive unless it's an eyesore in the lot. I work for rich people.

I'm about to blow your mind, this info is from someone that's gained the trust of many wealthy people in order to find their secrets, do not share this information anywhere outside this thread

Some wealthy people like cars and buy expensive ones, some don't. In fact, this goes beyond cars, it seems as if they have different tastes, aspirations, and spending habits. This may sound crazy, but I'm beginning to think rich people are just normal people, but with more money.

Rent a Ferrari for a week

>Any super clean 80s euro car.

>Any of these cars if kept in perfect condition will be seen as a well off man.

Whoa, hol up, you're saying they're not a different species with a whole bunch of hidden secrets to them?

Since rich people are already getting exposed I might as well blow the lid off the whole operation -

There is no guy that knocks on your door and hands you a certificate saying "you're rich" when you reach a certain net worth, it's only relative

Rich people care about money and are smarter with it than people that aren't rich, so the old cliche "he's rich, he doesn't care about (x amount of money" is the exact opposite of reality. People who spend money frivolously without thinking are poor people.

Nobody becomes extremely wealthy on a salary job unless they got in very early with insane stock options. Unless you are in finance you pretty much need to start your own business if you want megabucks. 100% of the customers I've met with multimillion dollar collections started some kind of chain that sprawled out on it's own, and they were successful because they were good at finding/managing people to do it, not because they had some super education or genius idea.

CLEAN Mid 90's Volvo Wagon.

These are like the tweed blazer stealth wealth ride for old money in my experience in Fairfield County, and other adjacent rich areas.

They lease them for tax reasons.

They also often pay the entire lease up front for a better deal.

Echo this experience.

Adding volvo wagon.

Not a chance. Centurion cards are for businessmen who entertain others. Then they can use the benefits. Old fucks who just have old money don't have centurion cards because they don't entertain as if it is a business expense. Centurion cards are also expensive as fuck. There are substantially cheaper cards that do 80% of what the centurion cards do except for impress niggersball players and rappers. When you are stupid rich, you don't impress people by paying with a centurion card. you impress people by not having a bill come to the table at all (because you own the table).

No one is trying to impress the rich trophy wives so it's fine.

Jesus getting in and out of a Cayman with heels like that must suck.

only one thing helps you fit in with rich people
>have lots of money!
if you dont have lots of money: your fucked because they will see your cheper car and turn their stuck up brown noses at you....

fuck being like the richie richs they are all cunts.

>doctors
>rich
this is what med students actually believe lol

This I live in a pretty nice (small) neighborhood of a major city, and there's a decent amount of variance on cars. This is despite the fact that every house is worth at least between $1 and $2 million.
There is one Ferrari, but nothing else close. Lots of Porsches, but also several Prius, and many domestics.

You do realise they leave the nice cars at home and take the shitbox to work right?

OP - get something classless like a Volvo V70 or a Subaru Legacy estate. Make sure it is totally standard, in good condition, and clean. Or a classic.

Kneepads

taurus is love, taurus is life.
i grew in love with taurus with time. i like the quirks of the old ones with their explosive tranny and the mystery of the SHO.

and the more recent one are just nice all around

A 10 year old s class merc

this

mr2, the answer to all questions

I live in a similar neighborhood (Hollywood Hills, but the slightly less-desirable part east of the 101, average value around here is about 2M), and have seen the same thing as well. My neighbors drive pretty normal cars, ranging from nicely-equipped Accord/Camry level stuff up to mid-spec BMW 5s and Benz E-Classes and stuff like that.

There was one supercar guy who lived on my street for a few years, and cycled through a California, an F12, and then an Aventador, but he moved out a while back. There are also a few cool classics, but other than an early 911 that might be an RS and has been owned by the same reclusive old guy forever, it's all reasonably attainable stuff like classic Mustangs.

My uncle is legit rich, with a net worth somewhere between the tens and hundreds of millions, and recently moved from a ~8M house in Bel Air to a ~10M house near Santa Barbara. Neither neighborhood is particularly exciting, and my uncle himself only JUST got his first really interesting car, a Tesla P85, after driving Toyotas for most of his life.

This is spot on - people who have a good relationship with money don't blow it on 300k cars, unless they're a collector.

Rich people aren't rich because they're better at getting money - they're rich because they're smarter about spending it.

This is why you'll always be poor...

Leasing is never a good idea, and "tax benefits" for a lease are either non-existent or are peanuts.

Poor mentality = reach for what I can't afford (lease cars, buy houses with no money down, etc)

Rich mentality = pay cash for something reasonable, keep it for a while, repeat.

If you have to reach for anything, you're not rich.

She so fucking tiny she makes that Cayman look like a Panamera

My GP has a Ferrari 458 and Porsche GT3, my dentist has a 911 Carrera 4S and the chief physician at the local hospital has an Aston Martin DBS, Lamborghini Gallardo, Hummer H2, Audi SQ7, Audi RS6 and possibly others.
Guy who owns the local McDonald's has an M6 and a new Corvette.

OP said rich, not wealthy... HUUUUUGE difference in what kind of cars are driven by each category.

Rich: BMW, Mercedes, the typical upper crust boxes on 4 wheels.
Wealthy: Skys the limit, bro.

Alright OP, so what does she really look like?

That can still be misleading
What is the sample size
And what is the mean as well for scientific reasons
What is the s as well

With a 5k budget, you're full stop not going to pass as rich. Instead of trying to impress people, buy something reasonable and try to get rich in the future.

Just get a used corolla or prius senpai, you're not a car guy anyways so they are perfect for you.

Anyways, rich older people here mostly drive new f150s or SUV's, and cycle to the newest model every 3 years. "New money" usually cruises in newer entry level bmw/mercedes.

>poor people actually think this lol

>The average millionaire who bought his fully loaded sedan when it was brand new and kept it all his life only drives this car

son of richfag here, went with him three months ago to pay $1.25m cash for some property

rich people generally don't drive supercars and such. they are normies and have normie taste in cars. Generally it will be a recent BMW/Lexus/Cadillac/Jag. Lots of space for holding things, SUVs, etc. It's just a car for them, not a passion. Sure, you have auto enthusiasts who get sports cars, but they are definitely the exception to the rule, and usually in their 50's.

>family has F-pace and sonata

Solid advice, thank you

>implying human beings have any inherent worth
>implying that a person isn't just the result of their circumstances
Stay poor, buddy.

>They can show up in a shitbox wearing Walmart clothes and still look boss.
Unironically this.

Honestly any luxury car you like is fine, as long as it's in decent shape.

Rich people drive cars across a wide spectrum; they drive whatever the fuck they like.

The one thing rich people do NOT drive is a beat-up car.

I live in area in London next to area of millionaires mansions (warlingham) they drive range rovers , jags and merc e classes. They don't drive budget cars

It's a car for the eternal poor.

East of Beachwood, or West?

Depends what kind of "rich" you're talking about. Nouveau riche rags-to-riches types or people who came from families with at least some money. Rags-to-riches are all about in your face shows of wealth: gold rolexes, AMGs Ms (if they're not quite as successful), Ferraris, Porsches, Bentleys etc. People who always had money don't feel the need to show off and they want to keep their status on the down-low in order to avoid any unnecessary attention, so they buy mid price range cars/minivans/trucks/suvs. Truly rich people (net worth in the billions) are driven around in custom built vans such as Ford Transit.
