People who lease Lyriqs cannot troll nor be sarcastic.

I’m cheap but the Mrs likes nice things. It’s a great feeling to make her happy and celebrate a milestone but my main goal is to understand how I can go about this better next time, not to discuss or validate my finances.
Thank you to those of you who have provided guidance and I invite others to continue sharing as well.
I’m great at being sarcastic but a terrible troll
That’s where things skew. Hnw people don’t draw incomes. Then they would have to pay tax like us minions.
So the 1% income isn’t crazy, but the net worth is much diff. People making 800k salaries don’t get into that bracket until much later in life.

Why is that? I’m objectively asking why you’re disqualifying it. I’m not advocating for it either just trying to understand the negative of that action
So that was sarcasm about 1%. Got it.
Dude I wanted a Range Rover at first or an XT6. Range Rover lease was stupid and the XT6 was comparable to this lease I’m presenting (is that good or bad? I dont know.) but it came down to the super cruise
…and your Lyriq’s isn’t?

In my circles some folks with that kind of money aren’t cash rich so they drive 2015-2020 models and others have high inflows and lower net worths but drive super cars. Rich people make irrational decisions like the rest of the world when it comes to cars too
I think where I struggle is understanding the lease as a transaction in order to negotiate a price point in that range. Do y’all just walk in the dealer and demand until they budge? I’m so confused!
sir this is a wendys

To your point, I was okay with the payment lol
I have that approach for a purchase but being my first lease I felt like a fish out of water. Not the least bit confident and bluffing my way in those negotiations
Pretty much, except I’m walking into the GSMs head and not the dealership floor
Going in to a dealer is for taking test drives way early in the process and for taking delivery of a vehicle with a deal already agreed to, in writing, only.

When I get a new car, I always insist that it has never been test driven, much less used as a loaner for 6,000 miles. To me (a non 1 percenter), paying slightly more for a brand new car is well worth it.
I realize others do not feel this way, but to each his own.

Waiting for them to cool off a bit and get one for my wife 
I don’t think negotiations should take weeks, especially if you’ve presented a detailed target deal or well researched monthly and DAS. It really shouldn’t be much more than a few emails in most cases.
They either accept straight away, or counter close enough that you can give one final counter. That’s been the extent of my negotiating on all 15 cars I’ve done this year. Big time saver. Easy to know who doesn’t want to play ball when they see my target and ignore me. I then naturally end up engaging with the very few willing to deal at these levels.
Wait, in net worth or in annual income???
Annual income, didn’t realize conversation was about net worth
