The transformation of the typical cars Somalis in America . A huge jump in the expensiveness of the cars they are driving nowadays

I have been noticing this phenomenon.

hooyos driving their children in Land Rovers or BMW van.
This is a huge jump from Dodge Van

Dudes driving Huge pick up truck that cost somewhere around $80k.
They coming from driving a Toyota Camry

Back in the day all the somalis I knew bought used from auction and paid cash. Interest was no no guess times are changing. Certain Somalis are loaded maybe they are dropping 80k but rest trying to stunt on next person

It’s cheaper to buy new these days since a car that’s a few years old is the same price as a new car.

Because they are ripping the system. Every Tax year. thanks to their children, they rack at $20K

And some are paycheck to paycheck but have a brand new car on load, paying $500 per month which is dumb if u ask. me

 

[Kimk]

the real question is are they buying nice houses as well.buying a 100k range and living in a apartment doesn’t make sense.

last time I check 80% of Somali in MN are low to middle class renters driving 50k new Toyota Highlander suv

10% are upper middle class making 150k+ a year.

10% are ballers making 300k+ a year

Most of them are leasing the cars, or buy a 5/6 year old used car. I remember when growing up, the people that had drivers license could be counted on one hand. Now everyone drives a decent car. Somalia are still the textbook example of failed immigration policy, driving nice cars won’t change that.

Give them 10 years more.

Leasing has become far more common. Even in the UK the local mums are competing with each other one with cars now lol.

Not everyone is a scam artist. Some have halal income and work hard for their possessions. Don’t lump all the people together.

I agree with you on the second point though. It’s unwise to appear rich but be really broke behind the scenes.
