I’d rather hang out with the nosey neighbor than a bunch of sissies who get butthurt and paranoid if asked what their car cost. Jesus Christ. Were you folks molested or something? Asking what you paid for your car hurts your feelings? We’re a nation of sissies. We’re doomed. Holy Christ.

Between your Name and tone you come across as one of those angry pumped up manly men, this is a discussion for average Joe's, sorry.
BTW Post your personal information on here, unless your a sissy.
Also your using the Lord's name .......🗽

Does nobody realize it's not 1970 anymore? From the phone in his pocket he could get a ballpark price. With modern camera quality he could get a picture of the Vin in your driveway from the street. With that he could literally pull up your actual window sticker. The information some of you take personally just isn't anymore. From zillow with just your address your neighbor can not only see the estimated value of your home, but what you paid for it. Relax, it's just a car. It doesn't define your worth, your intelligence, or your ability to shop.

IMO, it all comes down to "delivery". I would much rather someone approach me starting with small convo about my vehicle then ask "If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?" rather than "so how much did they get you for!?"

IMO, life is too short to fear honesty in the face of a simple curious question, though I'm not in the OPs shoes to have full context on the vibe the neighbor gives, nor is anyone else who is replying, including those talking about "retaliation" to just a question. I'm a people-watcher and love to learn from others' interactions, views, and reactions to life... this thread delivered lol. Thanks!

Jeep Wrangler JL Nosey neighbor.. spidey


With that said, believe me, I know the negatives that come from sharing things like your income with the wrong people. It'll get you judged, it can bring pointless hate, and it can have you on the top of their list when they've gone on their 4th international vacation, living beyond their means and then lose their job and expect you to help them. They don't think about their mistakes, or the fact that you've been working your ass off 7 days a week for years to build something that is yours... they simply see you as someone who "has" and they have a need. Helping people is great, and some situations are really sad and no fault of their own. But being used, abused, and hated from your hard work and modest success is NOT great or justified, so I get why people want to be private about things that could reflect their level of success.

Whether someone can look up prices on the internet is not the issue here. Also, no one said anything about hurt feelings. OP is asking how to deal with nosey pushy people. It's about manners and etiquette.

He clearly stated he was not in the market for any vehicle...so why ask?
Some people spend $$$ on sneakers....I don't want $neakers, so I have a habit of not asking the younger guys I know what they paid for them.
btw I'm not offended ...its just not a question i ask.

If I only used my spidey sense I would have "ducked" in the house. 🗽🦆

Some people are just too sensitive. Did the neighbor say something rude or did he simply ask what the op's nice new jeep costs? If you take offense or find it nosey to ask a simple question about your vehicle's price, that is your issue not the neighbors lack of manners.
