Most lease and finance deals don't end with the customer owning the car.

On the second point, behave.

I can only speak for myself, my car finance has.

I've been following the OPs 'logic' and now I'm so confused I have no idea which class I ought to think I belong in :rotfl: I hope he'll be along to guide me soon or I won't know which of my 'friends' I should spit on if I see them in the street and which ones I should leave a farthing for the maid on the bedside table when I go to stay...

It's a social minefield :eek:

I genuinely love your answer but I'm trying to join the middle class not the upper class. I was born working class but with some head starts (I went to a very posh school and already understand the aspirations and social patterns that allow the middle class to stay ahead, I had a single parent upbringing but they had a good job, I was sheltered from the worst parts of my area) so I believe I will be able to attain this

But your original post suggests that you simply do not understand at all! Sorry OP, I'm not trying to put you down, really I'm not, I come from a very similar background to Soundgirlrocks, and believe me,judging from your posts, you would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. The "posh school"may have given you a bit of a leg up, but your social skills seems to be somewhat lacking. Whilst trying to better yourself should always be applauded, you seem to be going about it in the wrong way.

Im not impressed by what other people have.

Jeez you are as bad as the OP the way you judge people on their clothes, food and language. At least you didn't litter this post with your usual array of capitals in the wrong place and bad grammar, no class at all. Guess I shouldn't have worn my Tesco top for lunch in the French restaurant today

Money does not buy class distinctions. Where the money comes from does to a certain extent. People with serious cash live in terraced houses. The type of house doesn't show what class you are. What you wear doesn't show what class you are. You could live in a terraced house and buy clothes from a charity shop and still be middle class. There are rich working class people and poor middle class people.

Are you kidding? Just google new terraced houses; 1000s come up!

I am similarly confused having come from, I suppose, an upper middle class background, did I move to upper class when I had my 7 bed-roomed country house with several acres,horses etc? and have I now moved down to middle class as I have a 3 bed detached? Who knows??? :rotfl::rotfl:

I bet these people who think they suddenly go UP the social classes because they get a mortgage on a 3 bed detached house and have finance on a new car, don't think they DROP a class when they downsize or have to get an older car! :rotfl:

Hilarious!
