I think the last few seconds make it fairly clear how things got to where they did.
That’s a flash motor for such a modest gaff.

Happy candles!
Careful you don't light up any cars with all those!

I know the area quite well, and that's fairly typical
In the 90s when my brother moved there, it was common for people to have a car parked on the drive that cost more than the house. (House prices have outstripped all sense since, of course.) Along a row of old Welsh slate terraced houses, you'd see Mercedes, BMW, etc - not a Golf or Corsa in sight.
People want to live where they live, and the cheap housing leaves them with plenty of spare cash for a "nice" car - whatever that means to them.

Had a mate who worked in a Range Rover dealership. He reckoned nobody who bought one could actually afford it.
