This is the deal I settled on after the one I offered up in leads. Big shoutout to @mani_is_kool for talking me through my cold feet. I definitely appreciated that call and discussion.
Truth is I have absolutely no need for this car, I have a hacking addiction and attempting a flip seemed like a fun way to keep the good times rolling. We’ll see how I make out. Car gets delivered this week. Looking forward to driving it for a couple months before I make it available for takeover.
For those wondering, my approach was as I always do, which is to present a complete deal sheet of my own making. This deal was made using the below sheet. I sent it out, dealer said I think we can do that, and came back at exactly the monthly payment I was targeting. The contract shows they ended up giving a higher discount and increased the MF, but as we always say, as long as WE know the payment we need to hit based on a well-researched target, it doesn’t matter how they get there.
Great job on the discount - 29% is no joke after the recent market turmoil! Curious what’s the primary goal of your s/s vs just using the calculator? Is it just for record keeping our am I missing something?
Also, entertain a possibility of keeping it longer depending on the market situation, status of the 7500 credit, etc.
Congrats again, enjoy the ride!
EDIT: Just realized that this is what you gave the dealer. Nice!
@douglashowitzer is the man ! Super happy for this gentleman! Amazing work done by him on this deal. Dude had a goal and he stuck to it ! When he messaged me he was feeling nervous taking it, I immediately sent him my number and asked him to call me. Welcome to the dark side !
