Off Topic Landfill

It doesn’t make your post any less anti-Semitic just because you are jewish yourself. Especially without the context that you provided later.

This thread got strange real quick

Will move to landfill soon.

Hi Raffay @ralphsaphony

I live in Chicago downtown and am looking to lease a car in the near future but this is my first time with leasing/buying a car. I went to a VW dealership today to look at a Tiguan SE AWD and they quoted something ridiculously high initially for no down /36 mo / 7.5k mile limit lease at like $470/month. I haggled it down to $350 for a $2,000 down but having seen deals in this forum I thought this was still a bad deal so walked away.

The negotiating process was really exhausting and I felt like I clearly did not know what I was doing so I am getting interested in your service.

** I am curious if you could give me a ball park estimate / list of deals you have done recently within my budget ($300~$350).**

My current interests are mainly in compact SUV / crossovers (VW Tiguan, XC40, BMW X1, Audi Q3), but I would be interested in sedans as well if there are good deals in my price range like the S90 you had posted on your company website.

Thank you!

Contact him directly. This is review thread.

There is something very sick and disgusting about foul human crap willing to spend upwards of $4 - $5 per mile for a damn car lease when there are starving people in this world that can’t help themselves. Truly pathetic and disgraceful! Not even God can help these creatures.

Right. And you could’ve just ignored this thread.

Uh , no it wasn’t a hobby. Where did I suggest or imply that it was a hobby? Did a lot of volunteer work.

There are people that would accuse you of the same for paying nearly any amount to lease a car. Thankfully, it’s not their business what you choose to do with the money you earn, just as it’s not yours what they do with their money. I know you are newish around here, but being an asshole to people is going to wear out your welcome quickly.

Why do you care how other people spend the money they’ve earned?

Hello. Thanks for your opinion. Although not shared by many in a market economy, we do live in a relatively free country.

For the 1% to .01%; many give back to the community in some ways or others. Does it really matter if they spend $2500/month on a car where some make more than that in a minute. Many give back way more than $2500/month. To each their own. I wouldn’t spend $5k/month on that car but under 1% if I had the money, why not, beats driving a e300 or Volvo S90.

does that car qualify for 1% rule if the terms are 48 mo? That’s way longer than most leases. IMO the 1% rule should be based on a standard 36 mo lease.

Here we go again …as if one thing has anything to do with the other.

I agree with this 100%. While I am not against wealth inequality, egregious wealth inequality is disgusting. And while there is some degree of line drawing, I think this certainly crosses the line. I don’t always live up to my ideals as fully as I should, but that doesn’t change the fact that certain luxury spend in this and other countries is morally wrong. With that I am done, as this is not the forum for this.

I don’t understand how this crosses the line but an S Class for example at around 1200/Mo doesn’t? If someone can comfortably afford the payment then all the power to them. If we’re talking $10,000 a month like a Phantom lease I saw then I get it being excessive, but by the logic you guys are discussing we should all get sub $300/Mo leases.

THANK YOU! Finally, someone that gets it! The rest of you are to be pitied. You’ll never get it.

Gets popcorn out :slight_smile: 2020
