Buy a luxury car not to show off but to close deals, says Mercedes fan boy
ONE can only wonder why cars are assets when there is so little value to be derived from it, unlike property, for example, which appreciates in value over time.
Sure, having a nice ride is a guilty pleasure that we indulge in, but is it worth the trouble to acquire a ride which is more expensive than the average real estate in land-deficient Kuala Lumpur?
Recently, a streetwise man on X argued that having an expensive ride is very important. According to him, it is not about showing off, but creating the vital perception that allows a person to close deals.
After all, how could people trust a person who drives a simple budget car? A financially secure individual should be able to acquire a respectable vehicle, and not just any, but the Mercedes Benz E300. Note that this article is not a promotion for said vehicle.
'Perception comes before presentation,' Mercedes Man said, adding that the rich buy a car that saves them time from explaining their business plan to their customers.
First impression and perception are everything dalam bisnes. Kalau korang ada meeting dengan someone untuk buat deal, mana yang korang lebih percaya utk jadikan as business partner?
– yang bawak Myvi, Saga, X50 atau
– yang bawak Mercedez, BMW, Lexus? 🙂↔️

He added that in the business world, people do not buy a product because it is good, but they buy a product where they believe in the person who could carry it.
Trust is established the moment a client sees the individual riding a Mercedes Benz E300, he claims. One can only wonder if the man is simply a successful Mercedes Benz sales personnel.
Our thoughts are echoed by netizen @luqmanchun, who claimed he was a good salesman.
'A luxury car is not a sign of success, but a trigger to open the doors of opportunity which are not open to everyone,' Mercedes Man continued.
However, netizen @iamthestamp refuted his claim, stating that he would rather trust someone who rode in a Myvi or Saga. According to him, those BMW and Lexus drivers out there are mostly scammers.
The words of Mercedes Man in the video are certainly food for thought. But how true is this? Or it is an elaborate sales pitch to sell more Mercedes Benz E300? —July 22, 2025
