The boring answer is an exotic that is about 20 years old, which should be right around the bottom of it’s deprication curve. You might need to go to 15 years old at the moment though, but historically, that is usually a good bet.

I guess, just seems crazy to me. I would have expected maybe $7k, $10k if I really needed/wanted it?

Haha, tis but a scratch!

Yep, I went with offer from Toyota and whatever their example used for the lease offer was. But you can definitely do better than that. A lot of EV’s have super low APR offers right now, so interest isn’t a huge factor. But it could be. Toyota had a lease offer on the BZ back in April or March that I almost took.

$16k for 130 miles, or less, of range? That seems damn expensive.

Yea, people buying an EV outright are insane. Just using the Solterra/BZ4x from this list as an example. Buying it you are paying around $44k give or take. If you lease, the cap cost is $31k. So, you are paying an extra $13k to “own” it.

Yea, it is a special kind of scumbag that sells people cars out from under them for sure.

I looked up the amortization too, but he has had the car three years. So it must be a longer than normal loan to have only paid off $80k in 2-3 years.

We don’t know the term or rate so it is hard to say. But only paying off $80k on $770k in three years of payments on a car doesn’t seem right. Even on a 10 year loan you would have paid off more than 11%.

My one co-worker had some complications from a Dunkin’ sausage egg and cheese. I will remember that forever. I walked into the meeting and he was sitting there. He is a nice, friendlily and fun guy. I said, “hey John, whats up?” and he gave me this half hearted, “hey”. I thought he was pissed off at me for some…

Money that comes quick, goes quick. In the video he said he has an Etsy store. So, my guess is dude opened it up and made a ton of money with some niche product or something “viral” and then as time goes, sales drop without new, exciting or enticing product. I can see that part happening.

I looked up pricing on the SF90 and did find a decent amount in the high $400k range, and they were all ‘21's like this guy has. I just don’t know how in 3 years he could have only paid off $80k unless it is like a 10 year loan with a crazy APR or some ballon payment situation. If it was a normalish 60-84 month car…

For me, a bare minimum would be 200 miles. We do enough driving to random places that anything less would cause a headache frequently enough. The bigger issue here isn’t really range though, it is charging ability and speeds.

Yea, but unless you need to have a dealer do stuff, all that you listed, outside of t-case issue is probably about $100 at home. That is about the same price as a Honda (or any other car) to do it at home too.

The one was a Chinese place kind of near my house in a Sunoco station I think. Not a great area but just off 95/895 in Bmore, just assume not a lot of people looking for gas station Chinese. The other was a dumpy little (maybe BP?) station on the way to the beach in DE. I drove past a month or so ago and the whole…

Yea, has to be a typo.

Yea, it used to be more prevalent around here, but no longer. There were still a few places that had food in them but the two that I know of are both now closed for food or no longer gas stations at all. 

Dude paid like $200k more than it was worth and then has only paid off $80k in 3 years? This is either fake or just hilariously bad.

I think all the independent gas stations are allowed to do whatever they want from a food side of things. Think gas provider named like Exxon, Shell, Sunoco and then we have a few smaller local ones too. But outside of one or two with a food truck, none of them do any cooked food inside other than maybe a roller…

Wow, that is so dumb. Makes me dislike Apple even more than I did 10 min. ago. At least I learned something today, thanks!
