In Miami and L.A you see them everywhere. I studied in Miami or eight years and I know what I am talking about. Also you can see many many Porsches, Mercedes, Audis, Aston Martin, Maseratti etc as if they were given away.

One more point to consider is in the US most people leither lease or credit (credit rates from 1.99% special rate up to 6% or 8%, correct me if I am wrong) their cars and you can lease a luxury car for about 399 to 599 a month, and in Mexico, most people who buy a luxury car either by them cash or buy them credit (credit rates 14% to 16%, very expensive) in that case you end up paying from $800 to $1,000 depending on the downpayment and the years the credit is for.

Here in Mexico you have to go to the wealthy areas and surrounding otherwise you will not see them as often as you would want to. We have to consider that the level of insecurity, robberies, carjacking and kidnapping is around the corner, so that is why many people avoid having an expensive car and rather move themselves in affordable cars like Hondas, VW'w, Toyotas, Chevrolet and Dodge.

My 5 cents

totally agree...
ive lived in san antonio, monterrey(mexico), mexico city, chihuahua, tijuana, los angeles, and currently san diego... and the prices in mexico are tooootally diff...

and i can algo agree that depending on the areas that u are located ull see diff cars(prices).. but by far monterrey is my fav, with ferrari, maserati, bentley, aston martin, among others...

here is the diff in prices in US and mexico...

US



MEXICO
