£30k for a car is not a 'rich' statement to anyone... what you are you about

£30k is what my dad earns in a year. That's a lot of money to spend on a car.

well just because your dad isn't rich, doesn't mean that car is a rich man's car.

it has nothing to do with me or you: just plot the price of that car on a graph of car-prices. it aint high-end, that's all im saying.

that's right, the average worker can afford to splash £30k on a car, hardly anyone has that type of disposable income.

TBH i'm with zique on this.
It's a slightly above average price for a car


Edit: Is it new or second hand? I didn't see.

the endless stream of Mercs, Audis, BMWs, Jags and so on are similarly priced

it's 2nd hand, depending on the spec a new one will be double that at least

dude what the fuck are you talking about

like 1 in 3 cars down here in the southern counties (the nice ones, anyway) are cars in the £20-50k bracket

like one in 4 cars here is a typical business merc/bmw/audi. brand new ones, or at most 2-3 yrs old. they're how much?

£30k isn't much on an overall chart of cars - it simply isn't a 'rich' purchase. fact.

your method of relative comparison is like saying "a £500k house is for the super rich", just because the vast majority live in houses priced under that amount. well, no... you're missing out the market for property in the 0.5mill->billions bracket. nobody is saying that wealth is distributed evenly... im just saying you're stupid for thinking something 'above average' working-class pay is automatically 'rich' territory. there's a huge wealth disparity.

can't believe it's even worth arguing over tbh.

Thats 47k US, that's considered a luxury item and very expensive for most people. However most people are in debt because they want such items.

It's because Scotland isn't the richest part of Britain. In Scotland a 30K+ car is seen much less often than in say Cheshire.

Also because the Scots think mobile phones are made by Sorcerors and shouldn't be trusted.

And a lot of cars aren't bought with disposable income. Loads of people get them on loans and monthly instalments..

it's all relative and some american doing a straight currency-conversion is about as sensical as a scot trying to dictate what an 'expensive luxury car' is defined as in the affluent english south. in some southern american states a nice ford pick-up truck is a 'nice car', by relative standards of wealth and quality... but it wouldn't float on the same scale of comparison in golfing millionaire surrey countryside. it's that simple.

if an ethiopian on this board were arguing that a new £7500 datsun were a 'luxury car', then you'd all see the error in the logic straightaway. but just because you all like to think you're relatively comfortable and well-off yourselves, you won't admit that an expensive item to you is peanuts to another large, middle-class majority.

I'm not a fan of the medium-sized Range Rovers tbh.

I mean they aren't advertised for use off-road anyway, but more for the family-man with an above-average income who wants a car to bring his family up and down to the mountains or whatever, and at the same time bring himself to work. So I understand the idea of going for a cross between a full-blown seven seater and a city-friendly 5 seater.

But it just doesn't work. It's a bit too big to comfortably drive in the city, and too small to really pack it up for a full vacation. The back seats are smaller than several competitors, the seventh seat hardly qualifies as a seat, and the luggage space isn't really enough for a full family going on a skiing vacation.

It all seems like a big compromise to me.

I find the Merc GL to be a lot better. Yes, it's big as fuck, but so is the Range Rover - they're both awkward in the city, so the difference is slim. However, you get a comfortable second row of seats, a survivable third row, lots of baggage space and of course Merc quality (Range Rovers have reportedly gotten better, but still worth a point).

If you want an SUV that works in the city, I'd rather have an X-5 or 3 or 6.

Just my 2c, I find the Range Rover to be a massively over-priced car to be perfectly honest.



PS- I'd say that the new Range Rover Vogue/Sport still holds a value of "status" - they are big, shiny, expensive, has an image of 'classy' and owned by people quite a bit up the income-ladder. It's rare to see an owner of those cars with an income less that £100k, at least in Norway. Of course it's all relative, don't know what the pay-bracket would be in the UK.
