Or maybe ‘The Cars Most Likely to be Bought by Thrifty Middle-Income People’?
The BMW or the Porsche might well last for decades, but who want to be seen in a 5-year-old model? Not the sort of big shot who buys one, that’s for sure.

BMW are actually best even more budget minded people.
I don’t know about that. I’m still driving my 2006 Jag S Type. Only has 94k on it and I haven’t test driven a car yet that I like better. I’ve tried. Drove a new Lexus, Mercedes, and an Audi. I come out and say....yeah I like it but not any better than my Jag......and it’s paid for. Lol
Hubby has no plans to get rid of his 2012 Mercedes SUV.
We tend to keep cars if we like them though.
I won’t comment on Porsche for lack of knowledge but BMW is the last brand I would ever want to own after driving hundreds of them at the local auction. We had thousands of used BMW vehicles to liquidate, I would rather drive a VW Passat than any BMW I have driven which covers just about all BMW models. Last for decades? Not BMW in my experience unless the owner has unlimited funds to spend on maintenance and repairs.
Depends on the model. A 10 year old convertible is still a status symbol or at lest an envied toy. A 10 year old BMW or Mercedes sedan is not.
Porsches are almost all in the category with Corvettes as status symbols regardless of age.
