Looks fake, flat earth confirmed.

I agree, but we don’t know, so hard to say. Also, and I am not sure on this one, but the insurance cost is tax deductible, while just giving away the car, probably is not since it wouldn’t be a donation to a charitable/educational enterprise.

Yea, maybe something like that. But that seems a bit wild since the company is essentially locking in the profit. How do they handle someone that wants to pay more than a minimum in that situation? For example, we got a 30yr mortgage in 2015 or so. Refied down to a 15 yr in 2020 and now have less than 10 years left…

Yep, good call.

Damn! Now that is interesting!

Where was Steven Tyler?

Imperial vs US gallon is the key here.

Imperial gallon vs US gallon most likely.

More interesting to me are semi-normal cars with really high-priced parts, like the XLR tailights. At least with these headlights, the cost for the part to value of car is low, whereas the XLR taillight to value is wild for one part.

Jackie Chan is/was and absolute mad man with stunts.

Oh boy, what a rough day for that agent. Also, what a dummy!

It is common practice on these type of events from what I know. Maybe they didn’t but I would bet they did, if I had to wager.

They most all get insurance for these things. It is relatively cheap so you can run the promo a bunch of times before break even and if someone wins, you are back to zero on break even. 

While I agree with what you are saying as to why it happens, maybe there is a total allowance on interest collected to original loan value? Not sure that would really work as it kind of nullifies interest rates to some extent, but maybe it could at least help a bit? 

I know Exeter is on blast here, but they aren’t the only ones that do this stuff. CACC (Credit acceptance corporation) is another big one. And I am sure there are a bunch of others out there.

Yep, that is about right.

Yes, but just means a lot of inventory and low turn rate.

You kind of did it backwards. Days supply says that if they didn’t get another vehicle delivered, they would go 410 days before selling out of all inventory. Goal day supply pre-pandemic for most OEM’s all of inventory on ground was 45-60 days. Some OEM’s are still sub 20 days supply of total on ground inventory. 

I have had to do this a bunch in the past few years due to some real whacky battery stuff. My Highlander Hybrids battery was going out, but AAA told me it was fine. So, I ended up having to jump it multiple times. Then they had the audacity to not reimburse me for a my battery (I get one free one ever so many years)…

That is probably about right. I mean, I think there are entire fields of lawyers that are probably mostly good, you just don’t hear about them much. Like, I know a guy that works in medical patents, he will never be in the news, and I feel like most of his work is of good nature and his wife was a trial attorney in…
