are you c00n azz nikkaz doing in this thread. Unless you can relate, don't post, merci beaucoup.
@philmonroe @Jayson_bourn, If I am correct my boy got an aftermarket warranty or some sh*t like that. Believe it or not there is insurance for luxury vehicles, around $5K deductible where I'm at when I'm in the states right now, no biggie. But honestly, not going to do the Bentley anyways, gonna stick to the plan and buy something cash and be done with it. I'll post photos in this thread in April of whatever I pick up and thanks to all y'all again for the advice, I feel you @philmonroe, but my reality is that I would have to take out a loan to pay for something that will only depreciate, and although I'm not far away from that kind of lifestyle, I'm definitely not so close that I should pretend, just the temptation at the rare opportunity was a lot to consider. Peace brehs
You're asking strangers if you can pull-off buying a used Continental GT. Think about that for a second.
No you dumb c00n f*ck, I specifically and anonymously wanted to reach out to the ballers (e.g. people with money) on this board and find out if they would consider it frontin' (e.g. misrepresenting my financial status) if I got a Bentley GT and didn't have a net worth of 10M's or more. I can get it with 50% down, my bank would put up the rest, and I wouldn't lose any sleep doing so. 99% of Americans finance their vehicles anyway, so I would be no different. But I wanted to get an idea from my peers (e.g. ballers) if they felt I would be frontin' or not. This thread was not made with the intent for somebody of your ilk to participate. Do like Pun said and go that way

im glad you didnt do it....
Eh...I somewhat disagree with this. I came up around white people with money, real money. One of my best friends growing up Step Dad was a Sr. VP with Home Depot, he was over the Home Depot Expo Division that sold furniture. He had a house near LA in Seal Beach, a condo here in Atlanta, and spot in Europe. And he drove a '92 Cutlass Supreme Convertible. Ted Turner is a certified billionaire and he drives around town in a shytty ass 20 year old Volvo. The CEO of Equifax, Richard Smith, goes to my gym and he pushes a 2nd gen Lexus GS 300, his wife pushes a Tahoe. So there are a lot more than you realize that push basic whips, true a good number push high end shyt, but a good number dont.
Well, the BMW 645 is going to be cheaper when it comes to maintenance and parts.
You might want to check Consumer Reports on the reliability of the 645 first. Some model years are sometimes worse than other years.
As for the Bentley, skip it. You might want to ask your friend how much service and parts costs. Unless you like tricking on the side as a tranny ho, then don't get the Bentley.

a lot of people like them have million dollar boats though. Unless you are an enthusiast, cars really are at the bottom of the stuntness list. Boats on the other hand
artwork, 100k watches, private jets, private islands etc.

That's what I was thinking but didn't type. I went to private school from elementary to high school graduation, so I was around some kids who had much more than I did growing up. I'm talking houses in upscale neighborhoods and summer houses near the beach. While I grew up on the other side of the tracks, so I got to live in both worlds and gain some perspective. And never did I see the amount of stunting from these families that I did/do amongst young black men around my age.
Tell me why I can go into a working class black neighborhood and I see just as many Audis and BMWs as I do in an upper middle class neighborhood. Because too of us be on that "well, I can afford it" level instead of trying to come up on real tangibles.
Like another poster said, many people buy things like collectibles, art, commercial buildings with their money because they appreciate. I like cars too, but cars are not a true measure of "real money." Anybody with a half way decent credit score and a job can leave the lot with a luxury vehicle.
Of course not everyone follows the conservative blueprint and some people have a much flossier lifestyle. But that does not negate the fact that many more do not and have just as much, if not more, money in their pockets.
Peace

You can disagree all you want sir that's your freedom but until you tell me how high end luxury like Rolls, Ferrari, etc stay in business ill continue to believe what I believe and you are free to believe the same. Also I never said that rich cats didn't drive them cars at all and if I did show me where I said that. I said that the majority didn't and I stand by that. For every dude you mentioned we can name 2/3 people that aren't doing that so that's why I don't know people like to focus on things that clearly aren't the norm for the majority in that certain group. Now if we talking about millionaires next door types yeah maybe more of them doing that but most billionaires ten millionaires driving just pos isn't realistic looking at real life.
