This is insane!!

To prove a point we had this brand new AUDI in the shop from a local dealer for some minor repairs. Someone bought this PIECE OF . And here is what this thing cost. People have lost there minds on what a good car is and the money spent. Why anyone on this planet would pay this much for a car that is a rolling garbage truck is beyond my imagination. I drove this car and to sum it up!!! My Camaro would waste this thing in handling and walk away from it like it was dragging an ANCHOR!!

My guess is that Camaro drivers aren't the target group that Audi is looking for.

have you priced out a new f-150? you can spend well over 50k without loading it.

I firmly believe just about anyone who buys a brand new car is insane. my friend bought a brand new dodge and within 3 years it was worth about 25% of what he owed on it.

I'd have to make about $2M a year to waste that kind of money. And to think how many other neat cars you could get. At least 2 new Mustang GT's!

Some people have more money than sense...

its all relative...... income vs price. If you make stupid money, you spend a proportionate amount towards a house/car or whatever........i photograph some weddings with budgets higher than the cost of that car...... not saying its sane or makes sense, just that people can and do spend.

As i have gotten older, i am less judgmental of wealthy people overspending......for example:

One high end wedding, here is a list of how many people make a living off that expenditure...
Caterers, Florists, Band/Musicians, Photographers/Videographers, waiters, bus boys, bartenders, valet parkers, coat check, and the list goes on........
i make a living from the excess of others as many others do......trickle down economics.

There's no guarantee the person who bought this car is wealthy. I worked at a dealership for a few years and I quickly learned that an expensive car doesn't always equal high income. Often the people who can least afford the expensive rides are the most willing to go into debt for the status.

There's also a very good possibility the car was leased. Or maybe someone took a very long term note. Dealers are now working loans with terms up to 97 months. Sure a good portion of those loans will default, but the bankers will get their bonuses today and thier bailouts tomorrow.

"A record 84.5% of people acquiring cars in the second quarter financed the deals with loans or leases, Experian said on Tuesday. That is up from 79.7% in 2008.

The shifts came as average credit scores for new car loans from all lenders fell for the fourth consecutive year.

U.S. banks made 36% of their car loans to subprime borrowers in the second quarter, up from 34% a year earlier, according to data from Experian."
