After buying a luxury car, how have the attitudes of people around you changed towards you?

Interesting question.

Luxury cars also depend on what kind of luxury cars they are. If you upgrade from the previous 200,000-level joint venture car to an E-class, 5 Series, Q5L, GLC and other level models, people around you will feel that your life has reached a new level, and they will be curious about whether your recent job or business has improved. to a new level.

Especially for male car owners, entry-level luxury cars are indeed an embarrassing choice. Although the brand has reached a higher level, people will not have a higher recognition of your life. After all, it is not difficult for most people to buy a car for more than 200,000 yuan, but entry-level luxury cars happen to fall in this price range and are just one choice among many models.

As the strength of joint venture brand models continues to increase, there are more models to choose from in the same price range. You can choose a high-end Camry hybrid, or you can choose an entry-level BMW 316Li. The former will of course have higher configurations and power levels, while the latter just has a relatively better-looking brand, but the actual experience will also be discounted.

But when it comes to models of the 5 Series and E-Class levels, it is difficult for ordinary joint venture brands to compete with them. This is where the value of luxury brands lies. As consumers' car needs become more rational, more people will spend the same price and choose cars with better experience instead of luxury brand models. So, if you really care about the opinions of people around you, then you should work harder.

Before I was six years old, my dad was a huge gambler. When I borrowed money and had no money to pay back, people came to my house with ladders to lift the tiles. At that time, the poor only had two small tile-roofed houses. After the age of six, I gradually got better because of my carpentry skills, but I only got better, not to the point of being rich.

When I saw this question, I wanted to share my real experience. Mainly speaking, I have relatives on my father’s side. There are five brothers and sisters. My father is the third child. My grandmother’s family is very poor. I don’t know. Why, no one thought highly of my family (including the neighbors) at that time, especially when the youngest uncle was admitted to college. After graduation, everyone focused on this uncle, and if anything happened at home, they would not think of my family.

In 2011, I bought a Roewe 350 a year after I graduated from college at the age of 24. My dad still didn’t have much contact with me

In the same year, I bought a house in the county town, but no one cared about it

13 years I bought a LaCrosse 2.0t when I was 26, and gave the Roewe to my dad. At that time, in addition to my brother-in-law, other aunts and uncles gradually started to have more contact with my family.

I bought a house in Suzhou in 2015 , my brother-in-law didn’t come when we moved, other aunts and uncles’ children came.

In 2017, my brother (24 years old) bought a Cadillac XTS. My brother-in-law, who has always looked down on me, took the initiative to come to my house during the New Year. Came, and came twice, nothing happened but suddenly came to my house to talk about dinner

In October 2018, I was 31 years old and bought a BMW x6 3t. A college student uncle who never called me contacted me. Because there has been no contact for so many years, I ended with a few words. I don’t know if you will come to my house again after returning home during the Chinese New Year.

Over the years, I feel that maybe others don’t think you are rich (of course, I don’t count it either) If you have money, you just like cars, so you keep changing) before they will pay attention to you or contact you; but if you have no money, many people will definitely ignore you and not contact you, including those very close relatives.

Let me tell you something that I have personally experienced. One night many years ago, while I was flipping through a book at home, Liu Zhen, a classmate who was engaged in construction engineering, called me and invited me to go to a disco bar to relax and play. Unable to withstand his insistence, I picked out some clothes and took his car to the front of the disco bar. At that time, disco bars had just become popular. The heavy subwoofers and unrestrained and enthusiastic singing and dancing attracted young people to go there and join in the fun. When we arrived near the disco bar, we saw vehicles coming and going incessantly near the entrance of the disco bar. Various vehicles were shouted at by the security guard from time to time, and they obeyed his command and followed his gestures to park in an orderly manner. We arrived neither too early nor too late, just in time for the disco bar to start. Since I didn’t have a reservation, I was worried about parking late and not having a table.

I saw the security guard running over in small steps and gesturing in front of the car to park our car to the right of the entrance of the disco bar. There was a parking space there that was always empty. After the car was parked, the guy in disco's special clothing hurriedly stepped forward to open the car door. He leaned his palms on the top of the car door to remind us to be careful about touching our heads. He also asked us with concern whether we had a reservation. After learning that we didn't have a reservation, we shouted a few words into the intercom. A beautiful woman, also wearing special disco clothes, hurriedly came to us and led us into the lobby with polite gestures. I later learned that Liu Zhen was driving a brand-new BMW that had just been launched. He parked on the right side of the disco entrance to attract attention and show off to attract business. I am a distinguished person and enjoy extraordinary VIP treatment, but I, who have been living an ordinary life, really cannot adapt to this kind of life. No matter how hard Liu Zhen invites him in the future, I will categorically refuse. I really can’t bear it!

Haha, let me answer this question! I drove the Lavida before! At that time, it was 150,000! I earned some money on my own last year and bought an Audi A6L. Suddenly my car was better than my relatives’. They were all very angry. There were all kinds of comments behind their backs. Relatives couldn’t see you living a better life than theirs. They were jealous! Especially the relatives on my mother’s side! It’s so disgusting

This really brings some changes and insights.

No, in the beginning, when I was driving a motorcycle and went to a big company to do business, haha, I was not allowed to enter! It means I came to your company for business, haha! Brother still remained silent for a long time, then said: The salesman is not here, come back tomorrow! Bah bah...

The next day, I told the boss, and the boss said, tomorrow you can drive the company's special car to try...

So, I followed the leader's instructions and drove the company An old and unknown special car went to renew business. When we arrived at the door of the company, the security guard at the gate said: What...what are you doing! I asked loudly, but did not open the gate to let him in. Seeing this, I got out of the car and explained that I had to get that thing done today, it was very important and urgent. The security guard said: Have you made an appointment? I said: Do you still need to make an appointment? He said: Of course, is this your first time going out to do errands? If you don’t understand this, why are you here to do anything? Saying that, go back and come back after making an appointment!

Oh my God! Why is it like this? 2 days in vain, nothing accomplished.

In the evening, I had dinner with my friend and told him about this matter. After hearing this, my friend asked, "Which company?" Security dogs look down on people! How about you drive my car over tomorrow and see?

There was no other way, so I had to follow my friend's wishes and temporarily borrow my friend's "Land Rover" car worth more than 2 million yuan to go to that company to work. Ha, haha... Is it strange or not, before the car reaches the gate, the door on the gate slowly moves to open on both sides!

At that time, I really wanted to curse! Are humans really snobbish about the world? How could it become like that?

After passing this incident, I really couldn’t calm down for a week. And it caused me to lose sleep for several nights. Later, I stopped driving a motorcycle, even my car was replaced with a new one, and I also deliberately bought a more high-end car for my own use.

This is how things in the world create people. It can also be called the profound and true experience of "experience one thing and gain one's wisdom"...

Everyone, have you encountered anything like what I encountered in your work and life? Let's talk about it and share it...

I hope everyone can "look at life calmly and be yourself quietly."

I spent 120,000 yuan to buy a Dongfeng Peugeot series private car in 2014. At that time, the boss of my company owned a Toyota car worth 260,000 yuan, and my colleagues all bought motorcycles and electric cars. In their eyes, it was considered a "luxury car". My attitude at that time was as follows:

Boss: Surprised?

Individuals: Jealousy.

Most people: admire.

After a while: I turned a blind eye and felt nothing.

I heard this from a very wealthy friend in a family who runs a manufacturing factory.

My relationship with this buddy is neither particularly good nor particularly bad, just average.

One time during a chat, he said something like this. At that time, he thought he was making a joke, but it turned out that a friend who drove a luxury car also said the same thing.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

The same goes for driving. The price of the car also reflects a person's status. If you drive a domestically produced car costing over RMB 100,000 and drive on the road, others will not take it seriously. They will overtake and cut into traffic, as if everyone has their own unique skills, and it feels like you can squeeze through as long as there is a crack.

What’s annoying is that in this situation, we have to give in.

Driving a luxury car is different. When people look at it from a distance, it stops thirty meters away. Even if they don’t recognize the car logo, their first impression is that it is very expensive and they can’t afford to pay for it if they get hit. Follow the car carefully.

My family has always driven a Volkswagen Jetta, a boxy little shabby car that has long been out of date. When someone sees me, there are always people who will sarcastically mock me and advise me to change my car quickly. , "What's the point of this crap thing?" It made me quite embarrassed.

Moreover, on the way out, you will also meet some domineering people who will think you are a poor person when they see your shabby car.

My husband is also a nostalgic person, because he feels that the car has always been kept very new, there are no problems, and he feels that he has feelings for it, so he has been reluctant to give it up.

Later, after my repeated urging, I finally got a BMW in exchange. Another person said, wow, you are rich, where did you get the money? I think your original car was quite good, so why did you replace it? It’s a pity.

You will definitely be very envious, and some people will wonder where you got your money.

I don’t mean to offend by saying this. If you are a rich person, this is nothing. If you are an ordinary person, others will think that he has won a big prize. Some people will curiously ask, what do you do if you get rich? What kind of money do you make? I bought a luxury car and my life is getting better and better.
