Replying to: snakeweasel (Jul 30, 2007 4:10 pm) You own a rental property and I come to rent it from you. You check my references, run my credit, and interview me. After the week long process you feel comfortable with me living in your house and feel as though your house will be safe and well cared for. Soon you notice it is not my name on the checks but instead the checks are from some joker named Tidester. Along with that the neighbors start calling you complaining about wild loud party's till all hours of the night, and cars racing up down the street. So you being the diligent landlord that you are you drive by the house. You find 3 cars on blocks, a Rebel Flag flying from you beautiful Magnolia Tree, and hear a loud engine revving in your pristine garage. You get out and introduce your self to Tidester and ask what in the world is going on. The reply is I live here man, my credit sucks and I was kicked out of my last 3 places because of noise complaints and can't get a place on my own. So I slip my buddy Joel $100 a month to rent this pad in his name. Want a beer? Not exactly what you had in mind when you rented the place to me is it? |

Replying to: joel0622 (Jul 30, 2007 1:16 pm) I sell normally a 6 yr 75K mile bumper to bumper with a 3/36K maintanence plan bundled into it for $1695. Out to 100K gets you up to around the $2000 mark. The $3500 figure confused me. Unless it is a diesel 4X4 then your probably pretty darn close Your numbers seem more reasonable, I was basing my calculations on what I have been told at F&I offices. One time, the guy was so persistent, I asked him head on: "So, you don't think that this brand of vehicle is very reliable? Do you think I should be looking at a different brand?" He got the point. I mean come on, I always buy this brand because I have my beliefs and previous experiences, and keep coming back. I have already put my faith into this manufacturer. If I thought it was unreliable, I would not be in his F&I office. Back into the reading mode I go.
