wow cool sheet talk about expensive though. Someone else said Id rather have a garage full of dream cars then a cockroach in a tuxedo... i wouldnt go that far but i like other cars more
^^^Haha, ouch. Just remind them that this cockroach weighs over 2 tons and does 0-60 in 2.9, not to mention going faster than any of their "real cars" could ever go at top speed... ;-)
the veyron is brutal no doubt about it, the acceleration is groundbreaking, but people always look for ways to discredit it... it weighs to much, it looks ugly, it is just engine, its not a drivers car blah blah... in my opinion it is a modern marvel and I would get one along with other cars but it wouldnt be my first choice.
1,850,000... For a car that has full time 4wd, over 1000 hp, yadda yadda yadda... Enzos are selling for about that much, they have 60% the hp, 50% the driven wheels... 4 less turbos ;-) Don't start with me about how an Enzo is so rare, I'm completely aware and I know this is not a fair argument... But I'm making it anyways. Deal with it.
Saw a lot of those Putnam lease payments in windows at the Concorso, in the Silicon Valley dealer lot. Are these kind of deals really being struck? It can't possibly make economic sense, even if you've got it, right? Jeff
Depends on how awesome your CPA is at deducting the lease. Maybe you could use the Veyron in your new crown implant demonstration. The Putnam and Premier deals are often structured as basically 'rent-to-own' - the end of term buyouts are supposed to be pretty fair. In the long run you're going to pay a chunk more than buying, but not as bad as the typical lease on a non-exotic. This is what they told me. The total of the payments on that sheet are $2,371,840. You're financing $1.85mm. So, about $500,000 in fees in interest over 5 years. Sure, you would be better off buying a CGT for $340k and a $200k Ferrari... but if you want a Veyron there you go.
That's what I was thinking...might as well buy one at that point. I'd rather have the V12 W12c prototype anyway. Would they be willing to sell that?
jus' goes to show... people in that price bracket live in a different world. but. it's cool 'cause we can watch
Depending on the rate, it could make financial sense. Keeping $1.5 Mil to invest elsewhere is not necessarily a bad idea.
You're on a Ferrari forum, I'd be willing to bet quite a few of those who are part of this site are "in that price bracket", they just choose other ways to spend their money. As for me? Well, I can't even afford the mid-80's 911 I want.
