These advertised lease deals have gotten beyond insane.

The ONLY REAL answer is what she should have bought in the first place- a 6MT GTI.

Wheels are amazing.

918 is heavier, less track focused, has less aero, and still beat it on some tracks.

2 things-

This car is going to crush everything on a track.

I really dislike the twin charged I4's in the new Volvos. They feel very unlinear, strained, and unnatural, imo. There is a strange sensation as workload is shifted from the supercharger to the turbo and it just makes me want a larger displacement engine with more cylinders.

Meh, I’m ok with this.

4Runners don’t have rebates or incentivized interest rates. That’s assuming it was even new.

Maybe, but that’s what this piece implies, and that’s a different matter. That’s why I said we need more of the story here.

Right, but that’s different from the sales price being raised to $37,000.

And if that’s the case, most if not all of it, can be cancelled and refunded. Depending on soon after the sale he caught it, it wouldn’t even need to be cancelled, because it wouldn’t have even taken effect.

That sucks to hear. And that is bonafide shady shit. Good thing you didn’t fall for it.

Exactly. It’s not like there’s no regulations to how the forms are laid out. It’s all standardized. The Sale Price is separate from ALL OTHER COSTS in numerous places. It has to be. Any thing else is itemized individually.

This is very unfortunate to hear, and I hear of this tactic and how effective it is all the time. Which is a shame. But even then, the Sale Price is listed in several spots.

Now this is very common. Someone who is payment conscious is closed at $xxx, so instead of raising the payment, you ask the bank for an extra 3 months, keep the payment the same, and made some leg to sell back-end product.

Extras have to be individually itemized by law. They can’t just be added to the price of the car. It doesn’t work that way.

Making the numbers look more favorable and hiding the fact that the vehicle was sold for 4 grand more than it supposed to be are 2 different things. The price of the vehicle is in print on no less than 4 forms.

I get all of this. I’ve done automotive finance. That’s why I posted in the first place.

I feel like there’s more to the story than this.

Say what you will about enthusiasts not being worth building your products around but consider this- There is just simply no reason to buy a BMW over any other competitor any more.
