About a week now since my wife bought her  “dream car” a Mercedes C180. Not exactly her “dream car” model, a older model, that was her dream model 3 years ago but she had upgraded her dream car to a newer model. Nonetheless,  a Merz is still a Merz and she told me she is having fun driving her new car around when she meet her customers. My Wife used to drive an old car, the car we bought after we got married. Years passed, we had move  tiwce from smaller house to bigger one but her car remain as

1. it has a sentimental value

2. the car had earned her lot of money as she had refinanced twice to use the money for real estate investment.

So to us, car is not a priority. Recently, due to the constantlt breakdown of her old car and also she is letting her employees using her car to service her customers, the need of an additional car become apprantly. We have much discussion on what car to buy considering the petrol price just went up by 40%.

After much consideration, between getting a new car and her “dream car” of the same price range, we decided that it is better to buy her dream car even though it is a little “old” One of the obvious reason is she will have a better treatment from Suppliers, Customers, contractors, Designers and others business associates. It is interesting to see how most people reacted with “branded Good”, when she drove to her customers house, they open the gate for her, contractors asked their workers to help her carried the samples and goods, customers talked with admiration and respect, as if she is a totally different person just a week ago.

Well for the past one week, she is really having fun observing how people change their behavior toward her just because she drove a Merz. It is interesting how most people perceive Success is and I guessed we had make a right choice by buying her “dream car” instead of a new car.
