I don't know what he does for a living, but in some jobs like real estate the image of success is very important. While all of you might put down people who rely on what type of car you drive to judge who you are, the fact remains that for a large chunk of the general population that's exactly what happens.



Many people are also turned off when their salesperson turns up in a fancy car. Even if completely unwarranted, they think they're paying too much in overhead/commission so the agent can afford that pricey car.
