Hondas...

Okay.. maybe this shouldn't be here. I just found this rather funny.

My younger sister (She's 14) Baby sits for this rather wealthy couple. The man Drove a Mercedes CL55, his wife drove a Lifted Suburban.

Apparently they just sold both their cars and he bought a Civic SI, she bought a Honda Odessy.

Must be something good about Hondas don't ya think?

(Btw, it's not that they couldn't afford the other cars, or the gas for them)

This is a true story.
So, I guess Honda must be doing something right if they can get a guy who drives a mercedes to sell it and buy one of their cars.

(Honda haters will love this)




(Edit: No real point to this topic, it was just.. interesting, and kind of confused me)

Re: Hondas...

There are other factors to be considered...you haven't asked them the reason for the switch so it's still unknown.

Re: Hondas...

Maybe they wanted to spend the extra money they saved on buying a Honda. Thats what my dad did, he sold his Audi for a Hyundai. Said because of the money he will save he can use it for better purposes.

What's wrong with a Honda?

Maybe they were tired of being materialistic? Or tired of haveing everyone envy them for what they drove, or bothered them because of their money status?

Re: Hondas...

maybe they wanted less maintainance and more reliable, so when they are going to their uber-important meeting, they want something that is reliable and won't break down on them? Maybe an emergency like a sick relative forced them to sell the CL55 and use that money for more important purposes? WHo knows, it could be anything

Re: Hondas...

I agree with raz, there are still way too many factors unknown.
How do you know it wasnt for gas? Gas is rising, and for the chevy i bet i cost them a monthly car note to put gas in it. Im not a honda hater but this is completely stupid to me. You said your sister baby-sits. Do you know how much of your miney is spend on kids a year alone? More than you spend on yourself. They maybe moving and need to sell their cars to get more money. Maybe they are getting ready for retirement after talking to a financal advisor. Hey maybe they want to rice? Maybe they seen fast and furious. Who cares? I bet if you do some searching youll find a lot of people who traded "down" for another car. Maybe they needed something more economy? Like you said they have kids. Maybe they want to buy a house. College funding? I could come up with a million of these.
