\\ Post Your Car vol. Been a minute //

Saw a new viper in person yesterday for the first time too. It was bright Orange and had little carbon fiber accents all over it (i think it came stock like that).  Pretty awesome looking car. I like the looks better than the new Vette

It's a beautiful car but for a car that supposedly the competitor it's a 30k price difference. Corvette is the best bang for the buck.

They need to lower it to the 60k-70k range.
 
depends on the car.. for some it makes sense..for others not really.. Ive been doing a lot of research on my M and adding a full cat , no real gains for the money.. Changing downpipes and such ends up being better on both the car and my pockets... It varies from car to car depending on what you are looking for in result.


anyone in here own a New AMG C63 S?

That exhaust note is sexy..

I just cant get over the blah front
Nah but I drove it and I also drove the GLE450 AMG.

exhaust crackles on both vehicles! man oh man.. they're almost the same price, I wouldn't know which one I'd take home.. prob the GLE coupe!

Hello, anyone have any insight on how a lease will work with a trade in? I'm currently looking at a TLX lease which is a 0 sign an lease with 0 down payment and 0 security deposit. 370 will be the mothly payment for 35 months, now the car I currently have is an 11 (v6) charger, in which i still owe money on it and is pretty high on miles 80k. I checked the value for it on sites like kbb, so I know that Im upside down on my current loan. Im looking into the lease because I will be pretty high on miles since I have about 2 years left to pay it off, but will then have to worry about mechanical failures.

Having a negative trade for a lease is pretty common. It allows you to escape hands free after the lease term with any responsibility of a car payment. Just remember that nothing is free in this world, and being negative on your charger will increase your payment. The ultimate objective is to discount as much of the selling price as possible. Also, make sure your dealership isn't moving money around when they show you the payments. What I mean is that if they agree to take off a huge amount of the selling price, make sure they also aren't offering you 2 grand on your trade.

Lets say you owe $10,000 on your charger.

Lets also say the trade in value is $5,000.

If the TLX MSRP is $35,000, you're now looking at $40,000 to cover the charger.

There are a couple things to look at when leasing. One, try to get as low of a cap cost as possible. This is the selling price of the vehicle.

Since you are not putting any sort of cap reduction (down payment), your payments will be higher - keep that in mind.

Also, make sure they arent bumping you too hard from the money factor. Money factor is basically interest. Try and atleast get them to lower it by .0050. That's about half a point in interest rate. Ususally dealerships will show you a 1 point markup. They will generally never give you buy-rate which is "cost". Cost means they wont make any money from the bank giving you that rate.

Thanks for the info. I currently asked for a quote for the acura Msrp is 36,240 and they gave me a quote of 31,491 to purchase the car. I told them I was interested in leasing, can I still keep the quote they gave me as the cap cost of the lease(thats the msrp or the vehicle cost right)?

My boy copped a used 550i for $50k and dropped what seems like another $50k fixing it every few weeks :lol:

So I found a great deal on a pair of mufflers on eBay. They're brand new but have a small dent on one side. It's small like the size of a door ding (quarter size). You guys think I'll be okay?

Yes, the cap cost is the selling price, the MSRP is the sticker price. cap cost doesnt change when switching between cash/financing/leasing.
 
I love the TLX @SC415.  Hope that works out for you!

i have not, but i don't need too. It's hideous. 

i hate the X6 too
It's actually REALLY nice. drives like a sports car.

everyone has their own taste I guess.
