What is your opinion of a person that drives an H3 Hummer?

Sandy and I went looking for a new car today. We found a great deal on a new H3 and while I don't really like the look, we were pretty much sold after we drove it.

Sandy and I were just wondering what our clients would think if we drove up in a Hummer? Would it be making a statment? Or the wrong statment?

Sandy said that when the doctors buy a nice car, the patients sometimes say they (the doctors) must be charging too much if they can afford something like that.

What are your thoughts on having a luxury vehicle when dealing with clients?
 
Honestly you should drive what you want if you can afford it. Yes people can say a lot of things. But another could be, his driving something like that then he must be really good ;). Been there done that ;).
If you drive a beat up VW Beetle 1970's you are bottom feeder ;)
 
Buy it Baby!!!

Hummer is my dream car. If you have customers who see it, they'll think they got the best frickin DJ in the state... probably did!

I think Realtors who drive nice cars, give the impression that they REALLY know what they're doing and are worth the price.
 
As long as you feel comfortable driving it and it fits the image you are trying to project, go for it! :sqbiggrin:
 
Let it be whatever ones image is much the same as you do any car you currently drive. Hell wear a Leopard Print Faux Fur. Life is but a Dream enjoy it.

We haven't even made a final decision as of yet but I had to take this pic while Sandy was driving. Notice the smile. It never left her face the whole time we were in it. :)

Very true...

Then again, it could create the image of success to the customer. It could really go either way, depending on the customer.
 
Hummers to me have always put out the image: "Hey Look over here, yeah over at me, I have the biggest car on the block, cut me off and I'll roll right over you." That being said, I think Hummers are classy in a masculine sense, if that's even possible. I'd jump at the chance to buy one for myself.

I believe Bernie on DJC uses a Hummer for his DJ business.
 
Briar....

I'm going to go against the grain here......

When you are in a service business and "fees" vary vendor to vendor.....driving up in an expensive car can make the wrong statement to your clients.....

What I always did was I had a nice looking "reasonable" car for business. It wasn't until later on in my career that I drove my Cadilac's, by then my accounts were well established, and again these people/clients were also friends....so they knew I was doing well....

In our business to some extent, we don't form a lot of long term friendships, with the exception of maybe wedding planners, Venue Managers etc.. So driving up to a wedding where a B&G may have gone into substanial debt to get married, might not, tell the right story.......

I found very few people look at expensive anythings as "Oh good He must be a great........, To the contray they Say "I'm Paying Too much"

Just My 2 cents worth.........

Thanks Gray.
This is exactally the reason why I started this thread. I am more concerned about what my clients will think than how comfortable I will be.
 
Am I in the minority who think that all the Hummers are butt-ugly? :sqerr:
