He's driving a Lexus. I don't think you should worry about him. He'll just get another one. |

I retract one of my Kilkenny offers for that statement. |

I was mostly kidding. :lol:
Here's where I was trying to come from... you have to look at the numbers a little closer.
Lets say Person A makes ~$40,000-$50,000 per year and leases/finances a ~$30,000 Honda Accord. When you taken into account their overall financial picture they have a certain debt ratio (or load, whatever you call it).
Ok, Person B makes $80,000-$100,000 per year and leases/finances a ~$60-70k+ Lexus. And take into account their overall picture too. (People have a natural tendency to adjust their quality of living and spending habits to match their incomes, right.)
If Person B's $70,000 Lexus is totalled, how is he any better off than Person A if their Accord was wrecked? How does he have it any easier? From the bank's perspective, and insurance company's perspective, his risk ratio and personal debt load might be close to the same.
The only way your comment is really valid (and makes sense) is if Person B makes SIGNIFICANTLY more money than Person A (say ~$200k, instead of $80-100k) that proportionally the Lexus makes a smaller dent in his pocket, so to speak.
In a nutshell as far as I'm concerned, losing your vehicle is losing your vehicle, whether its a sub-$4k beater on minimum wage, or a new-ish luxury car on a professional's salary. Does that make any sense? :dunno: Or am I just :loco: ?
Disclaimer: I'm not a Commerce/Finance grad so this is out of my area of expertise and I may have gotten some terminology wrong. |

| I see what you're getting at. I was just thinking, 'Rich guy loses a car, oh well. Better than the guy in the Yugo who has to hoof it now'. :dunno: |
