There are products that sell primarily because of their exclusivity, and they are exclusive primarily because of their high price. That lets the buyer flaunt his/her wealth. That works with a brand or marque that is widely known in the buyer's circle for its price. I'm not sure it would work for one person who owns one specific example to try and claim his specific item is far more valuable that all the other similar items. After all, how can you flaunt the value of your car if it looks essentially like many other less expensive cars. I guess you'd have to take every opportunity to explain to every passing stranger why your car was so special. I'm sure we've all met that guy and don't treasure the memory.
