Obviously, yes, some people do. But there are plenty of new cars you can lease, with now money down, for <$200/ month, and you don’t have to be anywhere close to rich to afford them. MIddle class, yes, but lower middle class works just fine. I would imagine that leased vehicles are a much bigger source of used cars than spoiled rich kids are. I leased my first car. It was a 0 percent lease with no money down, and that way I got to drive it for 3 years before deciding whether to do a lease buyout. Good thing I did, too, since I ended up moving at short notice for a new job to a city where I wouldn’t be able to afford parking a car, and wouldn’t have had time to sell a used car.
