Your points are all valid, I was just pointing out that in some cases, one could get a better rate than that and put the advantage in the ‘buying’ category.

Part of Enterprise.

We would should ban everyone from driving PT Cruisers.

I didn’t say it was atypical. I just said it’s not a great rate. Without knowing the specifics of what banks you used, what your credit history is like, and all that other jazz, I can’t speak for your rate.

Of course it’s not fair to compare the rate to one on a new car. And I wasn’t doing as much. I said 6% is still not great even on a loan like this.

It’s not 1998 anymore. You should join us in the new milennium.

Except the iA really doesn’t have impressive handling or steering. It’s decent. Certainly no better than the Golf, though.

We did a 4% loan on a 2008 Veyron for a client that not only did he not put money down, we financed his sales tax in the loan. $2,160,000 for 48 months.

But 6% even on a car this age is not good for someone with really strong credit. And at this loan amount, small difference in interest make a big difference in payment and total loan cost.

This is the big one.

I work at a dealership that routinely leases high-end used cars, and sometimes I just can’t wrap my head around the deals people take. People who literally make millions of dollars a year who want to lease a 100K+ car and only have around a $500 payment. Even if they have to put a ton of money down at signing, or set…

I know this website and many of the commenters here are in love with idea of a small, slow car that can be hounded on, but this one falls below the cut off line. I worked at a Toyota dealership right when we got these cars (as Scions) and though they are decently built, and not exactly what I’d call a penalty box,…

Yeah, no. For that price, there’s several cars I’d rather have.

What the actual fucking holy fuck?

Well, duh. Idk how anyone could have possibly believed that in the first place.

I always thought it was ‘Dirty Bit’

I didn’t think it made much sense either, but that is currently the plan. This came from an inside source just 2 weeks ago.

Wonder how that’s going to affect Skoda coming to the States.

Seems like this piece really goes out of the the play to play this car up more than is necessary.

I work at a VW store, and the overwhelming majority of buyers couldn’t really care less about the TDI scandal. Most don’t even know about it. The ones that do know it’s bogus for the most part.
