I still miss my old zen.. it doesn't matter which car you own.. its travels you made in it with family

Basically the first couple bought a liability by taking a huge loan and and again invest around 3 lakhs on yearly basis just to maintain the luxury status ! great 👍

He said "i also own basic cars like innova" 😂

Bought a Honda City, left 40 lakhs in mutual funds and I smile everytime I see someone riding a badge!

Overall what I have understood is "safed haathi" terminology gets more and more true as the video progresses towards the end.

I own a bmw, as you can see from my videos. Maintenance costs 40-50k per year. And parts are way more expensive than a normal car. If you think a second hand luxury car is a good idea, it’s not. Unless you can’t afford the brand new, don’t get a used one.

All these ideal scenarios applies to those who do not have enough money. Rich don't think about that. To simply put if you have pocket of Alto don't go for above that and then you don't have to think about these statistics. Remember maintaining a car is more expensive than buying.

Idk why Indians are calling this luxury. Dude it’s a normal car sold with tax in India

Such a honest video. For sure India has come a long way. It's good people are now talking about money. One pattern I have seen in Wints videos are, these rich people do not have children

My friend was charged 2.7 lakhs for a GLE 250 service 😂. He sold it and bought an MG ZS EV

How humble these people are

I would rather get a first hand cheap car than buying someone else's used car because true luxury is always getting something new

Its saddening to see people choose temporary material pleasures over children.

Very well explained content. We were able to afford a european car simply by using a different set of financial math, which is "never budget a new vehicle morethan 25% of your annual income". We had 2 japanese cars for 13yrs along with expenditures within our budget we were able to afford this new vehicle. Have a nice day Take care

My respect for Nano went up....😂

parents proud that their children help them in social signalling in front of their friend circle. What a fairytale ending to a heart warming story. No wonder these folks don't want kids. Their parents probably never loved them.

Work hard until innova and sonnet become basic cars for you

Own assets not liabilities. Cars are depreciating assets and big liabilities. Unfortunately in India, it's all about how you are perceived outside in society and only way to do it is by flashy cars and brand names. I much rather own regular car and invest my money in stocks or real estate.

My worst buy ever was range rover . I wasted so much money and with lack of spares and indian roads it's impossible to ride any European brands in india

And when you're old and lonely....talk to your car 😅

basic car INNOVA bhai ye hum jaiso ki dream SUV hai That’s d difference 😢

nevermind the fact that the keyles entry cars and just in general, can be stolen so easily these days

The girl's personality is so bubbly and infectious, love her vibe ❤

Save money by not having kids to buy a luxury car 😮 , seriously? If only their dad thought the same ...

I have a BMW X1 2019. My per service cost is only 16 K I use MANN Original filters, Mobil oil its just that I service it from a private garage, i have driven it around 80 K now and have replaced all suspensions Rubber parts (ALL ORIGINAL) Purchased from BMW and have only spent hardly 2.5 Lakh in 3.5 years which is nothing!! Its just you should know where and what part is to be replaced and which oil and filters does these german car makers use, because they themselves buy it from a OEM its just that how much knowledge do u have about a car. Everything is cheaper and affordable.

Whenever I see some of these expensive CBU cars on the road, I head bows in respect for the owner. I want to thank them for their contribution to the Taxes on the country.

If import duties are a bit more reasonable, most of the people would opt for JDM cars

At 1:51 you mentioned car price must not be more than 50% of annual income. I would say when you are purchasing luxury cars, it must not be more than 20% of your income after tax. Period!

Buying luxury car with loan is a big NO..! If you can’t afford buying ₹1 crore car by putting ₹1cr upfront on the table, don’t go for it..! Slog some more and get the ride against 100% own contribution..

I look at it this way - I had two daughters, now grown... Feel way more luxurious than any car I have ever owned or could own. Edit1: I own 4 cars. Innova, Brezza, Nexon EV and a SPresso. One car for each member in the family. Never felt a need or desire to buy a 'white elephant'. But am always fascinated by folks who plonk so much money on these. The yearly maintenance cost alone can get you a simple car. Edit2: Maintenance of my 3yr old Innova is about 25K/yr. 4yr old Brezza about 13K/yr. Nearly 3yr old Nexon EV was 3K in last service, but anticipate slightly more in next service. 2yr old SPresso service cost me 4K. These cars, all automatic, put together cost less than a single luxury car to own and maintain. And whole family gets mobility without a sweat. The smallest car, SPresso, is the most pleasurable to drive within the city, especially going to high density areas...

We have another alternative too, we can take these vehicles for rental whenever we have long trip and these are available in almost every big cities.

yeh tin saal baad ye gaddi jarur bikega..

I live in Europe and own a Tesla which isnt even considered luxury over here. I drive on clean roads and everyone respects the rules. Why people spend their savings on depreciating assets to drive on congested potholled roads when you have to share the road with cows, bicycles and pedestrians is beyond me

It costed us upwards of 5 lakhs to replace the whole automatic transmission with mechatronics in my VW Ameo, thankfully it was all covered in warranty as the car was less than a year old, had it been longer we would have been completely doomed, even though Ameo is an entry level sedan.The hidden cost that might come up when using a luxury car is always a suspense

Legends register the vehicle from bus, to truck, to merc in Nagaland (NL registration) to save registration cost

You could have considered Volvo XC 60, if you like design.

Instead of splurging on a luxury car this year, consider investing in alternative assets. With the green season bull run, there are smarter ways to grow your money. Investing now can yield far better returns in the long run.

Dont have kids..buy an AMG. Respect😎

For people aspiring to buy a luxury car in India just know that over half of the costs are taxes by the Central Government. Build a business and own the car in that business name and buy a new luxury car and depreciate it in the first 4 years and save your taxes 😊

The guy took out 33 lakh loan on the car and is now worried about the fuel efficiency. Amazing idiots 😂😂

With India’s 200% tax on CBU models, and ridiculous GST and RTO charges on top, these luxuries cost 2 to 3 times more in India than anywhere else in the world barring a few countries.

Clearly the couple knows nothing beyond aesthetics to look for while buying a car 😅

Remember whether you buy a Suzuki Alto or Roll-Royce Phantom, you have to drive it through India's shitty roads. So these luxury car owners can't utilize the full power of those cars on India's pathetic roads.

Love this! I used to drive with my Spouse. I miss it as we started to invest in Stock to secure the future of our kids. I got my invested stock capital from truck driving. My main purpose of stopping was because we now have kids and also we have been able to meet our financial goals with the help of a CFA. Stay safe and keep on trucking

Having a City which gives 20KMPL even after 5 years and a Grand i10 automatic which gives 12KMPL even after 4 years and a Kid who is in 2nd standard and loving and living an awesome life. Priorities matter but giving credit to not planning to have kids and then buying a MERC and later worried about its mileage is the most foolish thing I heard in this entire video 😂😂😂.

Just to have pride in front of friends and family they spent 78 lakhs ... Wow ..

Correction: At 5:33, The yearly EMI will be 7.68L for Mercedes and 1.8L for Maruti, so the final Total will be 11.48L for Mercedes & 2.76L for Maruti

For designers, math won't work but design works

Ideally if you earn 20 lakhs per yr...U cannot afford a car more than 15 lakhs (if unmarried) 10 lakhs (married) Its not at all worth to spend more than this limit for a depreciating asset... You will get some attention if u r driving a 2023 Mercedes....but no one will give a damn if ur driving a 2015 model..

God i never knew how many problems do rich people face making a decision buying a car . I though it was all easy if you had money . I wish them all the luck , strength and courage making a good decision for themselves

Older lux cars look like shit and lose their appeal once they have passed 5-6 years of ownership. Infact new budget cars have better looks and equal safety nowadays too. Coming to horsepower and acceleration, if you're living in a city like mumbai or bangalore, pehle highway pahoch jao wahi badi baat hai. I myself have paid fine for driving above 80 in a compact SUV. What's the use of having a sword when you need a needle

I really appreciated this video and the honest look it provided at the reality of owning a luxury car in India. As someone who's been considering purchasing a high-end vehicle, it was eye-opening to learn about all the hidden costs that come with ownership beyond just the initial purchase price. The insights from luxury car owners were especially valuable, as they provided a firsthand perspective on the real cost of owning and maintaining these types of vehicles. Overall, this video was incredibly informative and provided a much-needed dose of realism for anyone considering buying a luxury car in India. Thank you for sharing this valuable information with us!

This is by far the most honest interview of owning a luxury car ❤

It can be intimidating to buy a luxury car, but for me buying a Tata harrier fulfilled those expectations, though it is not as luxurious as a merc or Jaguar . My car is very reliable and cost of ownership is very reasonable. Initially I had plans to shell out around 30 to 40 Lacs to buy a preowned X5 or a Mercedes SUV. But I now feel I made right decision to stick to harrier and invest the rest 😊

And iam happy with my used verna diesel which i bought for 4 lakh instead of getting nexon diesel which would have costed me around 13.09 lakh in nagpur ........ at first i was skeptical that what my friends, neighbours will say that "kya used purani gadi le li and all that " but now iam just happy i paid 3 time lesser for even a better used car than new one . vernas service cost me around 5000/- a year ( every 10000kms) and mileage is around 17-18 in city and 22-24 in highway and still drives like a beast. do whats best for you .

dont have kids, no social responsibilities, live like kids all the life... what a mean to think.

Basically You spent out of your initial budget… Thanks to women ☕️😂

A fool and his money are soon parted

How come designers make that amount of money?? Most of the designers are paid peanuts in india.

For some one who is young and could shell out 40L as a down payment, shouldn't be cribbing about the monthly fuel expense, insurance or maintanence charges 😑 This car was never out of their budget like they claim and the story with that kids is just over the top. 👏🏽 They came in this video just for the same reason of why they bought it - To rub it on everyone that they are rich and acted like they also have the same issues as the poor. Stuff which only those people who have recently acquired some wealth in their life would do. Not the actual rich.

That’s definitely not a “ 6 year old “ Jaguar XF. Also the interior shot of the A6 , makes it look like a more than 10 years old model. Buying luxury cars in India which are 10 years and older also isn’t advisable.

Moral of story- don’t buy luxury car…it’s a financial blunder 😅

Expensive cars are like elephants. They are not just expensive to buy. They are expensive to maintain. Also capital depreciation on expensive cars is very high. Most of the times it makes absolutely no sense financially to buy them. Buy if you are someone who is too passionate and financial or practical logic doesn't matter, go for it.

Bachha na karne Modern Culture h kya? Agar h toh bata do pls 🙏 Kyuki Ambani ke bacche bahot purane jamane ke h.😂😂😂

Why are salaried class watching this and wasting their time? You can never buy these things if you get a salary every month excluding CXO types.

Always check these things before buying vehicle . - basic service cost . - mileage - availability of spare parts - cost of spare parts - tyre cost - insurance cost - more ownership reviews in RU-vid or friends who own the car - paint job cost if required. Anyone can save money and buy a vehicle but most people sell it within 2 years because they can’t maintain it. If you need car , best buy in more common brands where more service centres are available and spare parts can be bought easily at cheap price .

Amiro ke chochle hai.. Half the luxury car are purchased for societal redemption and the other half by people who want to please their wives .. Utter shit the kind of blind consumerism that’s happening

Going for lexus hybrid cars is a better option if you want to save on fuel. Lexus e300 gives around 22 kmpl. and it looks stuning.

But, what color is your bugatti?

50% of yearly income ? are you kidding me brother average is like 5-6 lacs this way 99% of Indians wont be able to afford a decent car.

The man is so rich, he can't even speak properly.

The less you want the more you have

The Road Tax in Karnataka is the Highest in India 😢

43, married 11 years, no kids and no plans either so justified self to buy a 530i Touring 😂

Replying from inside of my Nano CNG. Coste INR 3500 per anum for insurance 5000 for yearly maintenance. Average 30km per KG ( INR 90 ) It doesn't matter which car you own, What matters is you own it like your family member. Always buy a car before marriage whether 3L or 2CR car.

Don't buy into luxury if u have to worry about its cost!

Even my 3.6 Yr old Tata Nexon Diesel got battery replaced, Engine oil valve replacement, and service altogether Rs 18000/- this April. I can't imagine if such things happen in these high-end cars. So much money will be required to maintain it.

The entry level german luxury cars are waste of money. FWD and underpowered, only people with pretending to look rich buy those just for the brand logo

Don’t have kids! They are soon going to regret it 😢 I have seen people after 45 yrs they are feeling so lonely & they say there is no point in making money 🤷‍♂️

Who is the guy behind the camera, you are amazing dude everything from storytelling, bg music voiceover, shots , animation amazing . Would love to get in contact with you

I had planned to buy a Mini Countryman which I test drove here and was almost certain of buying, and when I told my dad about this, he is like, what is the mileage :P

Don't keep a luxury car more than 5years if it's new. Parts like water pump, seals and sensors starts breaking and vehicle will not work under optimal performance. Never ever buy a used luxury car

preowned luxury cars come with a pain in your wallet and its a HUGE NO NO if you are someone whos price conservative

Not planning for kids ? Congratulations for loneliness at old age in advance 🎉

While there is an element of honesty in the narrative, but somewhere its driven by consumerism emotion than by prudency. Its individual choice but the couple's identity seems to revolve around brands and social praise. "We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like." Dave Ramsey

Bruh.. if you want horsepower. Get a honda car with vtec and turbo it. No fake frills just pure performance

People thinking that buying a luxury car is more important than having a family, I assure you guys that your kids are only thing you would cherish in the end.

If the budget of the car should be less than 50% of annual income then 70% of car owners in India should not go beyond wagon R car. You also need to think about emi for home loan, medical bills, school fees, savings. But unfortunately car is status symbol in India. Even the person doesn’t need bigger car they will buy bigger car to showoff.

Owning a luxury car is good but at cost of family is so not okay... 20 years down the line people Change,people u roam around will change but only people remain with u are your family... After 30 year when they come home from work at least they would have there children to tell stories too..

You're not doing justice to those machines on Indian roads with bad city roads, terrible traffic and in disciplined, irresponsible drivers...Good luck!

Luxury car owners usually don’t worry about average or maintenance. This couple looks to have way overspent their budget. Plus not having kids, so bought a Mercedes, was funny.

What I appreciate most about this video is that, as kids, we all dreamed of owning a Mercedes or BMW, and to see them owning one with pride brings a smile to my face. It demonstrates how rapidly India is changing where one can dream big and get there quickly.

Why am I even watching this video

Lease a car, get rid of it later

yeah it cost about 4 lakhs from official service centre to replace the headlamps of Jaguar XJL but we did a after market just for 13000.

"We might not plan for kids." Bravo 🤣💀

That is why you never give financial planning to a woman then she will end up spending 60lacks for car while having no clue of retirement or future unless she herself is going to pay 50% of the emi it is not advisable to fall for this kind of shitty traps and it is aleays a wise choice to avoid designers and people from fashion industry as they are more of show offs than logical. Even though I can afford a Mercedes right now I would rather invest that into real estate than a depreciating asset like a Luxury car.

You’ve put EMI for a month for calculating yearly running costs

They were not happy with a polo but there are so many families who would be so happy if they could afford a polo 😂😂
