Wait wait wait, that’s never once ever happened in a car dealership, I refuse to believe you that a customer would ever misinform you about their situation and then be offended at a bump due to credit even though they haven’t paid anyone since the late 90’s.

This was my experience selling:

No skin in this game, like you obviously do...

Internet Troll is super effective!

You sir are a beautiful, glorious hot mess! Your logic is extremely flawed and I think you probably got touched by a VW when you were young and have never recovered.

Well, I’ll leave it at this. I can’t convince you and I guarantee you can’t convince me because I lived in it for many years. There are some terrible people on BOTH sides of the desk in any industry including the car business. I can also guarantee you that they aren’t all bad.

Hey, hey, I resemble that remark. Don’t try to confuse me with your fancy college speak. I’m a simple cave-man, I don’t understand your wizarding ways.

Sad thing is, as a dealer I try and be an honest guy and treat my customers as I would expect my family to be treated.

You mean like this one?

People who make objective statements are often incorrect.

Hey, wait-a-minuet, my attorney wears a seersucker suit...

Any time someone starts a sentence with “not to be a _____” you’re doing exactly that thing.

Actually, it often is......I know BMW used to have “pull ahead” programs where, if your lease were ending within a certain timeframe of a new model year coming out, and they wanted to move some inventory, they would completely drop the last 3 months of your lease payments when you leased a new one.

Consider that the R8 came with a metal-gated manual. There is something about the clink-clink that adds to the manual shift experience.

That dealership paid more than the car was worth in order to make the transaction happen. If the KBB was $14k (and KBB is usually wrong) then how is the Subaru dealer going to make money on that deal? They are not. Your “deal” came out of the price of the STI. CarMax give you a walk-away price. Sure it was low, but…

How to calculate a trade-in value like the average car shopper:

Except, no, it ISN'T something different. Each of us must make a living, ideally honestly. There is nothing dishonest about the unforced buying and selling of goods and services amongst willing individuals. You can, therefore, take your ignorance and condescending tone and shove both up your ass.

You need to ease up. You’re starting to sound like Shabazz K. Morton.

Considering how long many people keep cars, if your credit is good and the rate is great, is there any reason not to take the longer finance term aside from “personal philosophy”? As far as I’m concerned, if the interest rate is solid (eg 72 mo. @ 1.9%), you’re getting nearly “free” money. And the rate of inflation…
