Porsche 914. I picked this from experience, but I’m sure other air-cooled cars from the same era could be included. If it’s hot out, no A/C or, if you have it, it’s not worth getting excited about. If you’re in the middle lane, there is no breeze going through the car because it’s such a small car that the vehicles…

This is why nobody likes you.

You’re not making fun of it for being a bloated Spark though. You’re saying that Buick has resigned itself to the idea of dropping a car that is pretty successful. Which doesn’t make any sense.

Too many people are too quick to deride leasing. Most cars will have a residual in the high 50% range. Let’s say 57%. Compare leasing to a purchase where you buy a car and keep it for 6 years. If you lease you pay for 86% of the car at the end of the second lease. If you purchase you pay for 100% of the car. And, when…

Not all leases include GAP insurance. Toyota is a big one that doesn’t include GAP.

I don’t doubt that you have managed to swing some good deals in the past at some dealers. But, as someone who works at a dealer I’m going to kind of play Devil’s Advocate here. Bear with me.

Doesn’t really matter if you’re leasing though..

Used to work at an Audi dealer and the ordering/tracking process is the same. Nobody can tell you when the car will get built, how long it will take to get it over here, how long it’s going to sit at port, or how long it will take for the truck to get here. I can track a ten dollar FedEx package, but VW/Audi can’t…

Touchscreens are the worst. I used to work at a luxury car dealership and very few people that have had both think that the touchscreen is the way to go, myself included. If I could change one thing about my Cayman, I’d get rid of the touchscreen.

Same thing that would happen if he were made GM; the team would fall apart. This is the same guy that wanted Larry Hughes, thought Sasha Pavlovic was a good player, dragged Mike Miller to Cleveland, thought Shabazz Muhammad was among the best prospects in the draft, etc.

“I almost blew it.”

Maybe not so egregious when you consider that in the final minute the Cavs took 3 attempts to inbound the ball. I actually thought LeBron should’ve been inbounding in that situation instead of James Jones. Considering there were no timeouts left and LeBron did had a nice feed to Mosgov on the exact same sort of deal…

Dealers get paid on either a percentage of the amount financed or a percentage of the interest rate that they mark up, typically capped at 2-3%. The amount financed is independent of the interest rate and the mark up is pretty similar if it's marked up from 2-4% or 15-17%. On top of that, people with higher credit…

Counterpoint: If the add ons make sense for your situation, then consider them. If you are buying a BMW with expensive run flat tires and you have a propensity for hitting pot holes and ruining your tires and wheels, then tire and wheel protection might make sense for you.

It wholly depends on what your "supplier" program is. Also, for many brands, a dealer will be unwilling to discount a car below supplier pricing as, if they are discovered making other concessions, whether it be added accessories or extra discounts, during an audit by the manufacturer, they (possibly as well as you as…
