Is my dad making a bad decision by wanting to buy a $100,000 Maserati Levante SUV?

Is my dad making a bad decision by wanting to buy a $100,000 Maserati Levante SUV?

Stats:

Age: 60
Anticipated retirement age: 65
Current net worth: $750,000 portfolio and paid off $500,000 house.
Income: $150,000

I feel like he's having some kind (late) mid-life crisis by wanting to blow his money on a freaking car and I don't want to see them struggle in retirement. My mom doesn't work either. I also don't make enough ($60,000) to bail them out in case something happens. This is all Canadian dollars btw. I've been trying to convince him to buy something more reasonable in to $50,000 range but he ignores me. Also, it's not like he's always had shitty cars or anything. They've always bought new SUVs from Honda or VW, but nothing in this range. Thoughts?

Nah, he's gonna die soon. Might as well enjoy it. It looks like he has plenty of money to live on.

>Nah, he's gonna die soon.

...not what I wanted to hear...

Did you forget you're still on Veeky Forums?

get a slightly used Range Rover?

He probably wants to enjoy a vehicle like that before he gets too old. I could be in a better financial position than I am now, but i just bought a similarly priced two seater sports car.
Mainly because in ten years I probably won't have the same desire to drive 180mph.

He's old enough and has enough money to buy it.

The problem with cars is that expensive car purchases are made for other people, not the buyer. People that spend 100k on a car and are just upper middle, like your father, are just buying it purely to show it off to people he doesn't give a shit about.

He'd get more enjoyment overall by using it to travel, instead of just driving around town and impressing niggers and post menopause women.

He should lease. In Most countries this is better for your tax, you don't have much risk and you don't have to wait thirty years for your car the have a minimal chance of you making a good investment with it. Buying new cars is mostly a bad idea, except you think money is not an issue fort you anymore.

He's not, but convince him not to get a Masishit.

They are rare because most people aren't dumb enough to buy that piece of shit. Tell him to get a Cayenee instead.

Porsche Cayenne is the only high end SUV that has some reliability.

Masishit will be in the shop a lot.

>60
>Mid-life

Mid life crises are for 40 year olds. Though you do say it's late.

Anyway no he's fine; you're independent and I'm guessing no more kids live at home with him. Just tell him to get a different SUV because maseratis are garbage tier. If he wants to drop $100k and it has to be an SUV he can get:

>GLE - G Class
>Range Rover
>Audi RS 6 Avant
>Toyota Landbarge
>Toyota Landbarge + (Lexus LX)
>Cadillac Escalade, the true old man's luxubarge.

All of which will be easier to get maintenance on than a Maserati.
