When car changes your life

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Renault Clio SWhen I suddenly met my old pal John in Brooklyn last Saturday I could not believe my eyes! Something happened to the “ugly Johny” as mates called him back in high school. Johny was driving a new BMW 7-series with all the features included and though I do not understand much about cars and related stuff like tuning I could definitely say that this vehicle especially taking in account that this was a long version (750i) cost more than $100k! To be frank, I was amazed and moreover I was shocked! “Ugly Johny” has been working as a simple employee in a tourist agency and he simple could not afford buying such a vehicle! When he approached me he could catch this question as it was clearly written on my face. But the answer I got was even more shocking than the first moment I saw him in this posh car: this was a leased car – it means that he actually did not possess it completely – he payed a fixed sum each month, the sum that is affordable even to those who live on state benefit – about $250 per month. New car leasing in New York has finally become accessible to anyone with any income! Even “ugly Johny” became a successful man and in several months he was promoted to the senior manager of the department! And he has already got invitations to join NYC moving firm as a co-founder!
