So what you mean is, I'm gonna bound myself to a car that I'll have no opportunity to drive in YOUR 2 years, then when YOUR FUN is up I'll get the car for 2 years...AND i get to pick how the car is optioned? that's one hell of a f'ing deal...

I think I'd have to be desperate beyond desperate, not to mention mildly..er scratch that, really ret**ded to put myself in debt like that with no benefits in the 2 years time.. i mean how much is the upfront? 7-8k?

Has anybody searched this poster's age, post history and what it contains, etc. I think that will explain most.

There is a new car club somewhere in central jersey that allows you to drive the four or five lux cars for a membership fee. I don't know the details yet.

To the OP: you can't always get what you want. Keep driving yer Su-bob-R-ew and wait a few years.

Oh, and prolly not a good idea to insult members with your first post:

Quite right. Most people wait till their second post to do that.

hahah wow, I just remembered to check up on this thread. I figured id get some flames for this but not an beat down like this.

It was just an idea, and yes I was serious about it. Im sorry most of you have trust issues, but if you can find someone you trust I believe thats is not a bad idea.

You guys want some background, here it is.

I graduated college a few years ago and picked up a job at a software company...made enough money to pick up my STI which I love.

(and BTW anyone thinking they would get sloppy seconds out of this type of deal, ill send you over pics of my 3 year old STI, and you wont be able to tell a difference between a new one and mine....I love my cars and take care of them)

recently I started my own software company and have been making ALOT more money than I am used too, and dont feel comfortable dumping 65k on a car just yet (even though I can more than afford it), which is why I came up with this idea...which I would pay much less over a standard 2 year lease, and still enjoy the car for two years (never planned on keeping this car for the long run)

I feel like current C63 leases are robbing people, and figured this was a nice way to "beat" the lease system with a low cost lease.

Flame all you want, but my intentions for this post were honest and trustworthy.


PS Thank you for whoever quoted my first post, as this thread only backs up my thoughts that these boards are populated by spoiled trust fund kids

You seriously came in here and expected people to react in a normal way to your idea? Or someone to take you up on the offer? You must live in an idealistic world because this is reality man and I bet you if you posted in 100 other forums, you wouldn't even get a bite.

Dude, you came on here asking for a commitment, on a serious topic, on the internet? Did you try a family member? Someone at work? Someone you know beyond a screenname?

You are talking about sharing credit, responsibility, and finding a "trustworthy person" on a friggin' web forum? Are you serious?

Here's an idea dude, go to the dealer, and PREPAY for a 2 year lease. The rate will go down if its prepaid. Drive it the two years, and take it back. One time payment, no other monthly payment on the car (at least for finance.)

There you go. Also, you are talking about investing "scared money" in a depreciating asset. If you are worried about your finances in any way and don't have extra coin to blow without worrying about it, you sure as hell don't put it in a depreciating asset.

This is the internet dude. Half the people on here have a 5 foot long *****, 6 LP640's in the garage, and are banging Jennifer Aniston.

cdd

If you can afford the car but want to minimize your depreciation hit, then just do this:

Enjoy your STi for a little while longer, wait until the C63's have been in market for 18 months and pick one up in the $40K range.

No need to come up with cockamamy ideas for shared leasing, etc.

sleewell

trust...?!? random person with 21 posts on an internet msg board....?!?..... huh?

dude, i wouldn't do this with my dad, let alone a stranger from the internet. its not a trust issue at all, it just wouldn't make any sense at all for either party involved.

it doesn't benefit anyone... from a financial aspect: its insane. from a liability aspect: its insane. from a reality aspect: its not anywhere close to sane.

my advice would be to stick with software, car leasing is not going to work out as well for you.

due diligence = high post count on mbworld. HAHAHHA

retarded post of epic proportions.

You've opened yourself up to a beating, and you admit it--that's good--it means you have half a brain and there is some hope for you.

So you're in your late 20's, making some good dough. Especially in today's climate, there is nothing more thrilling than money in the bank (IMHO). I'd rather be rolling down "main street" in my STI (presumably paid for) with, say, I don't know...$50,000 cash in a money market at your age while maxing out my 401K (or whatever you have in your company), than anything less than that and driving a C63.

I too started a software company many years ago, and did the 6 figure thing right out of college. I saved fairly well along the way, but not as much as I should have. I went through a rash of both leasing and financing "cool" cars--money that I wish I had saved. Luckily, I just sold my company, made some $$$, and so I have title to both my C63 and 997 twin turbo.

So what's my primary point--save your $$, keep digging your STI, keep focused on growing your business, and set a goal to buy your C63, Lambo, or whatever, with cash.

Don't worry about those spoiled trust fund kids. How can you blame them? Heck, if I had a pile of money from a trust fund, I'd be rollin' in as much bling as I could. There's nothing like hard work, entrepreneurialism, and some luck that gets you into your dream car that you bought with hard-earned cash. A trust fund of any size can't compete with that.

dan30252

How dare you use rational thoughts on here! You should be ashamed of yourself!

taylorcoleman

Too true anymore. I should slap myself...here I go...

Next time I think I'll join the flame bandwagon--much more fun--and this one was a winner.

Don't forget to decant for 20 minutes before consuming it!

BerBer63

Is it just my experience or did people not lose 30%+ in their 401k...maybe not the best idea?

bluert

I know how you feel. I am in the same boat but I am in different career path than you ( don't have my company and I am a blue collar guy ) and I have a few less years to enjoy my future C63.
Like taylorcoleman said, save yourself some $ for a few years and get yourself a new, or used C63 at a bargain. It will worth the wait.

taylorcoleman

Talking about taking present action in a 401k. Yeah, the 401k's are in the tank, but for me at least, have plenty of time to rebound.
