But what is modest? Thirty grand and a '93 LeSabre? Fifty grand a year and a '99 Taurus? Or seventy-five grand and a 2006 Nissan Altima?
Modest is what someone can actually afford. I drive an older low-mileage Saturn in excellent condition. It was completely paid for before I drove it off the lot.
That's the trick isn't it. I really can't get on people if they drive what most would consider a piece of crap. But I can however get a little pissy if a guy pulls up in a 150k Mercedes who makes his living off commission or sales from money out of my pocket. I'm middle class, If I were upper class maybe that would be more fitting. But thats the breaks.
