From Vancouver News story


For these drivers, dropping $200,000 on a new ride is no big deal, making Metro Vancouver the luxury and supercar capital of North America.

Just ask 20-year-old Max Yi, the proud new owner of an Aston Martin Rapide S.
“I just want to buy it,” Yi said. “It’s cool.”

The $270,000 four-door sports car is not even Yi’s first luxury vehicle.
“He got a Bentley before but it was crashed,” said Yunhun Yao, who was riding shotgun in Yi’s Aston Martin. “So he needed a car immediately and this car was in the same store where he bought the Bentley.”

This is just what I need to here after driving home in my 2012 dodge work truck hoping I can get a few more km out of the old tires girl to avoid making payments on a new one.
People wounded why sh$t stories like this goes into a racist down turn?...
i wont get started and I’m sure white people FINNANCE these cars to but really, just check the names out and this should answer the stereo typing that goes on...SORRY in my Canada when your 20 you get to drive a sh$t box and you better be dam happy you have wheels.

This whole system of kids having daddy’s big money has be littled this country and the stupid parents that allow it should be shot out of a cannon back to where they came from.
now we have a leader that endorsed this kind of thing to happen and incurages them to come to Canada, he to needs to be knocked over the head to.

Ugh!

The orientals in the lower mainland are buying up all the exotic high end stuff they can get their hands on....the manufacturers and Chinese import restrictions prevent anything less than 6 months old being shipped there.... so the rich parents get their student kids here to buy the cars and drive them for the six months. Then they’re loaded into sea cans and sent to Hong Kong and Shanghai where they’re sold for big profits...

Here's the thing though, if parents got the coin what's wrong with them buying kids nice vehicles? If they take care of them, and you got the money why wouldn't you? It's different if they are spoiled brats obviously. As long as the money is obtained legit, imo I just see it as jealously. As soon as I turned 18 I went to the dealership and bought a really nice loaded diesel, if it's your money you can do whatever you want with it.

The asian money in many cases has been obtained by many generations saving and saving. Those who worked hard for it and got it by no wrong doing, more power to them.

The problem here is it’s daddys money, you start a young kid off with the idea you can drive a $270k car or have what ever you want it gets the mass population pointing at them. ( this is bad as it sparks all kinds of problems as we are seeing) It doesn’t teach the child any life building skills as to the real world. It turns him into Justin Trudeau! A spoiled little sh$t that can’t tell the diffrance between reality and la la land.
If you choose to live this way it shouldn’t be here in Canada, keep your money and your ideas back in the country you came from...those are your ways so keep them there.
Bring money into a country to launder for big profits and upsetting the country’s balance should be illegal, having your child help....pack mule comes to mind here.

I think you are right. Tons of real estate and high end luxury items being bought in Canada using dirty money. Canada is becoming a money laundering haven!

You're making assumptions not based on anything. Just because a kid grows up rich does not make them entitled, many grow up poor and entitled. Some realize they are lucky and take care of the fancy luxuries they are afforded, if you got the money why not?

Again, an assumption. Not all of the money is dirty, many simply worked really hard for it. Sure some of it is but it's not fair to label it all that way.

What im assuming is a twenty year old kid doesn’t respect a $270k car, he may think it’s cool, rad or fkn awesome but he won’t have the mentality to understand what it takes to own and respect that kind of vehicle. Second, show me a 20year old that has put in enough time at a job to fund a $270 car.
he has not worked for this, this was handed to him, wrong wrong wrong in everyway.
but that’s just me. I worked hard for what I have and could pick up a Land Rover or Audi for my wife or daughter no problem but they drive Santa Fe,s and old golfs.
money needs to be respected and giving your kids high end vehicles just seams so wrong to me. Send them on a trip around the world and get educated. That’s money well spent if you have the means too.

Oh and by the way, regardless of whether you earned it or not. ALL money is dirty.

When your family has a billion dollars you have a different sense of value.

For sure but hopefully his dad made him work it and he gained some sort of respect of what it takes to make logging pay. It’s always nice to help your kids excel in the biz but I’m guessing getting up at 4am and working it till there zero trade value left he’s learned a valuable lesson that the kid in the $270 car will never know. It’s called reality.
unless he’s a spoiled brat...then just buy him the lambo and send him off...all hope is lost.

So how do you know the kid is not a stockbroker making his own cash? Or going to university getting a degree or five? You think only blue collar workers have work ethic?
