Lame, didn’t he have the old version of this car?
If it was that R63, it’d be a different story.

He did work for Porsche in the past, but does being an automotive journalist really pay this much?

I think he has done pretty well with retaining some equity from many of his cars, so he never takes a depreciation bath, with the exception of the Range Rover. But yea I have to imagine he does well professionally.

P.S. WTF is MNDOT even doing anymore? Took me 25 minutes to get through the Lowry Tunnel today.

Nothing wrong with fast wagons, but new experiences are also good.
I actually think a Panamera Turbo would be a great Carmax buy.

This is his replacement for his Range Rover, which is going to his wife. This isn’t just a review car, if it’s like the Range Rover, he imtends to keep it for a while.

His channel alone (not to mention whatever Autotrader pays him/takes a cut from his vids) earns him enough for a nice car payment or two.

He has almost a million subs on YouTube and his videos get a ton of views. Combine that with his absolute shit production value and he’s making a good amount.

I think its based off how well videos have done in the past, given their length and ads, etc.

08/04/2017 at 11:49, STARS: 0
yeah. It is interesting information. I though his “check out what odd things I do in my Ferrari” were the videos that made him popular, but that may have just been on the Jaloppo pages.

I think he took particular umbrage with the $120,000 MSRP. My guess is he probably paid around half that, perhaps a tad more.
"E92M3" (E46M3)
08/04/2017 at 12:47, STARS: 0
He is able to write off the depreciation. Because it will be used in a youtube video (or 7), it’s now considered a business asset. Then there’s the insurance, advalorem tax, etc. The write-off’s help lower his taxable income from his day job. Come on man, this is JEW-101.
He’s also written a book, that and his old videos continue to provide a residual monthly income stream. Sure most of the traffic hapoens the first couple of weeks, but just like Matt Farah, the videos still get views after a year of being out. Once you have a 100 out there, it really starts to compound and add up.
