More money than brains.

 

Did you say something? I was lost staring at your avatar.

Carry on chaps.

 

^ LOL

people are very silly.

 

Troll, me thinks.

 

Has to be a troll. NO ONE can be this stupid. She traded it back and lost ALL of the tax savings she could have had by trading on another car or keeping it for a while. Remind me not to get in her helicopter. What a ditz.

 

I have a client that is a very high net worth individual. She is one of the top specialists in her field. Very very smart and I would definitely trust her with my life. She makes into the seven figures annually.

BUT she is very particular with her cars. Some of the things she does may not seem rational to us but I know she is not a dummy.

I know of one instance whereby she traded in a SL63 after one day because of an issue with the dealer prep of the car. To me it was a tiny issue that was easily resolved but to her the car was no longer perfect and she was so pissed at Mercedes that she traded for a Porsche Cayenne Turbo then realized that it really is a SUV and not a sports car and traded that in for a 911 Turbo. This was all done within a month.

I certainly don't have the money to own any one of those cars so I am not in a position to value the importance of the loss of the tax savings or to rationalize trading in a car after only one tank of gas.

Good for them if they can afford to do so.

I'm sure there are lot of people who look at how much I spend to keep my 964 just so I can drive her 1,000 kms or so in the summer and look at what their spending priorities are and say NO ONE can be that stupid.

 

Being successful and well off does not guarantee that you are smart in every way. I have seen highly successful individuals that can not handle the simple task of ordering food without drama.

Just sayin.

 

Not something I would brag about that's for sure!

 

Its an odd decision made for sure...glad its not my money!

 

She had to buy a Cayenne Turbo to realize that it was an SUV and not a sports car - WTF - talking about women and car decisions on a sports car forum simply makes no sense!! A bit sexist yes but completely true!!

 

If a person is good at what he/she is doing at that level, doesn't matter if he or she doesn't make good car buying choices.

I'm sure we all have areas where we are poor in making decisions of.

 

Doesnt surprise me that she did it. She can afford it, why not. What does surprise me that she found the time to write a long post about something that clearly did not mean much to her.

 

^^ My thoughts exactly! By posting was she trying to save someone from making the same mistake?

 

My fault I wasn't clear enough .... she realized that the hype about the Cayenne being the best handling SUV still didn't come close to the handling of a 911.
