Don't buy a BMW, Audi, Merc, Volvo ...

drdog_2

On threads here, people highlight the expense of bits for their cars, maintenance, insurance etc etc. And the cars they own – BMWs, Mercs and so


So this web site is about saving money. Surely a very simple way is not to waste money on expensive cars. After all no one NEEDS a BMW or an Audio, Merc, Volvo and so on. The foolish may allow their vanity to cloud their judgement and they succumb to the desire to express their lack of meritorious personal traits through their car – after all, surely someone who feels the need to express their personality through buying what some perceive as prestige material goods, or statements of wealth, is not a worthy MSEer.


Can anyone demonstrate that for each pound spent, such cars return a better investment than cars half or even a quarter of their price, or are they purely for moral vacuums – after all surely they could by a cheaper car that does the primary role of move them from A to B and do some wider good by giving the rest to charity, rather than sitting in lane 3 tailgating more reasonable people.

What pointless drivel drdog :money:


Have you seen the price of a house compared to the price of a tent, I suppose any true MSE'r should sell the house buy a tent and go camping, they would save a fortune :rotfl:

Yet more stereotypical rubbish.

I would say that the OP is talking rubbish using these examples above, esp the vauxhall v bmw. I also think that the op is some sort of closet communist.

I've got a BMW.
It's done 100k miles and I expect it to last me a good few years yet.
I call it good money saving.

Negitiator - hey fine, live in your moral vacuum.

Bert - no chip, just sadness about the choices some of the people that share this planet with us make.

DTDfanboy - a tent in this country does not represent a reasonable permanent dwelling. Like cars there are perfectly affordable adequate comfortable housing and then there is the housing equivalent of BMWs, Audis etc etc
