Your analysis of the situation is a bit off. The vast majority of MBA students have worked some amount of time since graduating from their undergraduate institutions. Not only that, many were working in highly lucrative industries like investment banking/consulting. It's really not far-fetched that they purchased these cars prior to entry into the program.

Also your note that 2% pursue startup opportunities seems to be incorrect, given that the 2012 employment report showed 13% of students not seeking employment to start a new business.

He is right though. Many MBAs have to relocate, and they buy the cars just for the two years of their program.

(About the 2%, the sample is very different so that should explain the difference with the report)
