I’m glad you’re more logical/dig more than I do, fair points though.

For the people who buy one of these, I seriously doubt it’s their first $150k+ car. If you can afford to drop that kind of money on a car, in all likelihood you’ve already got several of them in the same price range if not much higher. You might get the odd septuagenarian who’s wanted a GT500 since childhood and can…

I know it sounds counter-intuitive when you Live Dat Life, but I would never valet-park my car.

Amazing when you do something so nice for somebody and their reaction by their life actions and towards you is basically “fuck you for helping me”

My sister tanked her credit like this. Cosigned a loan on a used Acura for her friend. Because he “needed a car for work”, yeah you don’t need a 2 year old Acura when you can’t get a goddamn loan.

The ex-wife and kids are always asking for help and always throw in “I’ll pay you back”. The only way that’s ever happened is they agree to me taking it out of future child support payments. I was impressed when I got a letter from a lawyer including me as a creditor on their bankruptcy filing. Yet another sign that…

Happened to me as well. I loaned about a grand for lodging at a car convention we attended to a very good, reliable buddy of mine who I spent countless hours wrenching with years ago. I only ever got $300 back as he went through a divorce, had his engine blow on his project car, I moved all shortly after the trip. I…

Just gotta decide how it will all go down in the end. I “loaned” a good friend of mine $5000 to buy a truck. I had it and I could afford to lose it at the time so why not? About a year later, he got a better job, moved to texas (he was one of those “Texas is a religion, not just a state” douchebags), abandoned the…

Drugs alcohol and shitty tattoos for $100.00 I must be paying too much

Damn, that’s pretty specific.

That’s how the buy here pay here lots make money. Except they go out and repo your Mustang with a tow truck and a .45 when you are a day late and sell it to the next guy/gal

I once thought that this was obvious advice. Then the country elected a demagogue with no actual position on the issues and it became clear that they live among us and Darwin might have been wrong.

Exactly this. I sold a $2500 car to the daughter of a family friend; her first car after she turned 17. I got paid like $1000 down and she paid the rest over like six months. If I hadn’t gotten those payments - oh well, at least my friend’s kid had a car.

It’s all situational. You’re brother asks for $100 because his bank overdrew but he needs cash for his trip to the east coast? Sure, because you know he’s good for it once everything clears. You’re Sister-in-law (who you’re pretty sure is the spawn of Satan and worse- your Mother-in-law) asks for that same amount for…

I once sold a car to a family member. They wanted to make payments on it, and like I expected I never received a single payment.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

You wouldn’t think so, but teenagers are eating detergent packets “for the lolz” so at this point everything is fair game.

I know. I was really, really hoping for a Vikings/Jaguars SB.

DAMMIT JAGUARS YOU HAD ONE JOB.
