Re: Can a regular IT Joe ever buy a BMW? Till the time Companies start sponsoring (read leased cars) the cars to employees (like in the Europe & US), it is very difficult for a regular IT manager to buy one.
While my recent trip to Europe, I saw most of the guys using company cars, leased, and the lease cost borne by the company. My colleague (one level up, not much higher) drove the Audi S3 2 door Hatch, top end model with 300+ horses, twin turbo. There are others who use the Golf, 3 series, X3, etc. The same guys did not use cars & traveled by bus till they had the option from the company.
My point being, there too, without company sponsored cars, regular IT joes do not want to go in for the beemers, audis and mercs. Even if they do decide, they usually go in for the Golfs, polos, puntos etc. |
