A man who has a lot to lose lol.
my lease is up in april on my car and i love it too much to let it go so i bought it today. They made me an excellent offer on financing (6.65% which is almost a whole percentage point below the average for used cars) and I also got sassy with them. I told them its in our mutual interest to sell me the car for less that the residual value since the price they'll get at auction is well below that value and they'll have to write off the ifference. I offered to help them out with the write off by offering $1500 less than residual, they came back with $800 so i took it...not bad for something that is contratually non-negotiable (i was seriously expecting nothing). I was likely at lease end to be 9,000 miles over mileage which would of cost me $1,530 along with a lease end fee of $350. so all in all by buying my leased car i saved a total of $2,460 (overmileage, lease end fee, negotiated discount, and difference in finance fees ). I hung up the phone then found out from a forum that amazon was selling wii's at retail price $249. I got on there bought one and not minutes later the deal was gone. Today has been a good day for me and my toys.
