No matter what anyone says, I'm convinced we all have been influenced (positive or negative) during a buying process by what others MIGHT think of our decision.
What we would like to know is if the pressure of others opinions, actually STOPPED you from buying that vehicle (be sure to mention which model it was), in favor of another more acceptable choice?
And are you GLAD or SAD by the decision you ended up making?
For me, I passed on buying a 1999 Mercedes S500, Grand Edition because I thought my clients would think I was flaunting my success.
Regret that move, everytime I see one in person or on eBay.
