This is exactly what I'm trying to say; because this world is becoming too materialistic, people will always have opinions, so do whatever it's right for you.

Who is going to know that you purchased the car new or used? WHO? Unless someone asks you and you tell that you got it used, nobody is going to know. 99% of the general public is not going to be able to tell the difference between a 2009 and 2010 LS460. Most people couldn't even tell the difference between an 06 LS430 and 07 LS460. Most people are not the car type and have no idea what cars are what.

If you guys are interested, the median annual income for LS460 buyers is a little over $200,000 per year.

The median annual income for LS 600 hL buyers is $400,000-$500,000 per year.

The source for the first statistic is forbes.com. The source for the second statistic is our local dealership (we have a friend who works there who has access to these kinds of statistics).

The median annual income for toyota prius owners is $90,000 per year.

I wonder how accurate those numbers are. I for one never give out income information (other than to the IRS and only because I'm forced to) or reply to questions about salary range in survey's. Quite frankly, I don't understand why anyone would.

Median annual income for porsche 911 owners is $390,000 per year.

Median annual income for cadillac escalade owners is $175,000 per year.

The median LIQUID net worth for owners of the bentley arnage sedan (base price: $212,990) is $25 million, while the median TOTAL net worth is $30 million.

Median annual income for scion xD owners is $60,000 per year.



Also a correction on the toyota prius one, it's specifically "$95,400" not just $90,000, but close enough I suppose.

I'm ball parking some of these figures.


All of these are from forbes.com

I think the average income numbers are accurate. Plenty may make executive salaries and own there own companies that effect the average of say, A person who makes $100,000! The exec may make $500,000-$3,000,000 and after averages with lower incomes i can see the LS owners income averages coming out that way! America is a great country in the fact we can own cars here that CEO's own via lease or buying on credit. Other countries citizens aren't as fortunate.

Not many countries have people who are not executives driving executive sedans(or any luxury cars period)! We are fortunate to be in this country not just because of the cars we can own but, the freedom to do so! L.G.N.M
