Like I said, just curious. I couldn't imagine having to make a car payment, but I'm a couple of decades older than you. Actually,several. Nice looking jeep.

The sales guy who sold you the silver JK isn't the one who is making the good money, the salesman who sells your old black JK for 31-32k is since they gave you 25.

OP, your interest rate is high too. The dealer is probably making at least 1% off of you from that.
I just bought a new 2016 Tacoma and I got 2.29% |

Instead of being $4000 in the ditch due to depreciation and owning the first Jeep for 6 months, you are now $12,300 in the ditch before you drove Jeep #2 off the lot. Now that you have driven #2 off the lot you are about $18,000 in the ditch and that number will not get any smaller until it is completely paid off, by that time you will have a $5000 Jeep. You asked for a salesman's opinion, you just got it. Good luck.

That thing won't be worth 5k for 20 or 25 years (At least around here, maybe wranglers don't hold value in Canada as well, no idea on that) |

I see about 6 a year that we actually will take in on trade, out of those six we may keep one or 2 for resale and wholesale the rest because they cost more to certify than they are worth. |

Plus in Arizona the newer/more expensive your vehicle is the more Tags will cost. You should see the lease payments we do on RS7's, R8's. For example: I sold an R8 to a customer a month ago who put 50k down on a low mileage R8 lease for 2 years and his payments were right around $2150 a month. |

I suppose it is the problem of the people that buy into the salesmen's bullshit off "I can get you into this truck for $xxx monthly" rather than looking at the total vehicle price when they are buying. |

30k for a fucking tiny jeep? Lol, well I guess I'm glad there's people like you to take the depreciation hit so I can keep buying 3-4 y/o cars. Wouldn't ever buy a jeep though

I also point it out on the sales contract before getting the customer to sign off on it. "Cost of the loan" is very important and must be pointed out and I totally agree with it. ETA, with lease customers the focus is on the payment and that's all most want to hear. |

Nice vehicle. I would like to see the salesperson's post on how much money they made today.

I'll never understand the concept of a new car.
I'm sorry...but if you are happy..that's cool. |

Side note: I had a 3 series customer walk in yesterday looking to trade his car in and he owed 48k, car was valued at 16k How is that even possible?? Bmw select plans balloon payment is one easy example. He bought a car and had dirt cheap monthly payments for "XX" amount of months, bigger payment started rolling in so he traded into another new car and rolled the negative into it and tada. $199 a month on a 3 series sure looks good on paper and in their minds but they never see the residual amount of the car. If you buy a $40k car and the set residual is for example $20000, they pay $199 a month for 36 months. The end of the lease they have a "balloon payment" of right around 12k for this case so your options are: A. Pay us the 12k to turn in your lease. B. Okay, we will cut that 12k down to 6k if you trade it in on another car. C. Go somewhere else and see if they will give you more for your trade. A lot of people choose the second option and when you do that 2-3 times you owe a metric shit ton. You would honestly be shocked at how many people have good sized amounts of negative equity in vehicles. |

If it makes you happy, then who cares. From a financial perspective it's bad, but the money aspect isn't everything. Many years ago I had to get out of a new car for a truck. The salesman and the sales manager were even asking me if I really wanted to go upside down. I knew what the numbers were, and I also knew that the truck would be mine for a long time. It all worked out and I drove the truck for a decade.
|
|
Fuck that noise. Did the whole negative equity rollover once in my early 20s, and never again.
Used cars from here on out, maybe a new motorcycle but never a car. |
|
Heh,,would rather have that Chevy truck in the pic then a jeep.
|

The State of Wisconsin recently changed their regs, requiring anyone scrapping a vehicle to verify the (lack of) lien status. I'm assuming the loan industry got tired of getting burned by people walking away from their loans and the vehicles disappearing. I continue to see interesting parts of cut-up vehicles in the pile with the water heaters, wash machines, etc..

So you effectively paid 8k extra for a different color and top?
Less than 2k you could have wrapped your entire jeep whatever color you wanted and have rock/stone protection. And you could have bought a hard top, jeep enthusiasts like having both options so that would have at least been a plus when it comes time to sell. So with that said, you did terrible. |
|
You lost about $5k in 5 months and you're upside down on the new Jeep. Doesn't sound that great to me, but I'm not sure what you wanted to get out of this thread.
Enjoy your Fiat. ETA: Also, your interest rate sucks. |

So you effectively paid 8k extra for a different color and top? View Quote No, about $4,200. The only thing that changed was I got a better interest rate and my monthly payment went up exactly $50. They started off wanting me to pay almost $150 more a month! I knew going in I was going to eat $4-5k on the trade, that was unavoidable. My goal in the end was not to increase my mo payments more than $50, and I did that. The better question I should have put in OP was, did I prevent the dealership from making out like bandits? I don't think they did, but I want to be sure, so thats why I asked. |
