    Always know interest rates before you go into the dealership. At the time I bought my last used car I had checked my financial institution to find their rate was 3%. The dealer told me they could get me financed at 3.5%. When I mentioned that I could get 3% suddenly their rate dropped to 2.5%.

    To get the emotional start you have to turn the ignition on put it in sport plus then pull the shift lever. I haven’t looked at interest rates lately but if you have a A+ plus credit 750 and above you could’ve got better rates with credit union or USAA. The F&I definitely took advantage of you for sure with 760+ . I wouldn’t ever use a dealership again. Walk in with your own or better yet get a dealer license and you can save the tax and registration fees as often as you flip the cars. That’s what I’d recommend to you. Just your dealer license alone will save you enough money to where you could also get a project car and that you can buy it at auction if that’s something you’d be interested in doing I don’t know👍

  • @twinturbo69camaro
    @twinturbo69camaro 11 месяцев назад +5

    Love the S65 coupe, congrats on the purchase! Resale values on higher end German cars are typically very poor as compared to the original sticker price. After 4-5 years the values drop off a cliff. The purchase price represents a significant savings off the original purchase price, but the maintenance costs are still very much inline with a $245K car. Having the ability to do some maintenance yourself will help, but the price of the parts will still be painful as will those instances in which the repair cannot be done on your own. Enjoy the ride and keep the up great channel!

My credit is a 806 and the interest rate was 9.99%!! My bank didn’t wanted to touch it because it’s 8 years old. They didn’t care how pristine it was with only 25k miles.

    Man they gave you a great deal on your TRX. Good to see they're still holding value solidly in the fact of the Raptor/Raptor R.
    Yeah, 9.29% is high-ish, BUT banks are a bit more aggressive on loans of high amounts to stem their losses, particularly on repossions. Under 10% on THIS car(yes it is often the actual car and make that drive interest rates as well) isn't too bad in our times. Plus you'll be able to re-fi within a year if your don't sell.

      ​@ryanrattray3199 I bought a CPO last week . They quoted 8.4 with no money down. I dropped 10 percent down and that lowered my rate to 6.1. To your point, the rates are usually better for tier 1. Maybe he paid higher due to age of the car?

    You tend to always double up or more on the payments, so if you keep doing that you will kill a lot of that interest anyway. Its funny amazing to see you paid less for that car than for the W205 C63. Love the car man! I can't wait to see what's coming.

      I might be wrong and who knows what Mike’s terms are, but most finance places charge you the interest in the loan regardless of your payment schedule…unlike that of a house mortgage where paying it off early, can save you thousands of dollars in interest.

    I am by no means a financial expert, but I would suggest trying to refinance asap with a local credit union. I just bought a 2017 R8 plus (loved yours btw), and I got a 5.45 % rate. My FICO score was 818, so higher, but you should easily be able to get in the 6´s with your score. CNBC said today that the fed could cut rates later in the year so you can always refinance then. Good luck!

    We all have our opinions but it’s really none of our business what your interest rate or monthly payment is. If you’re happy and comfortable with the deal then so be it. In my opinion this is the most beautiful and classy looking car you’ve had on the channel. It just looks so good in silver with the red interior and those wheels…but I know in order to make money on the channel you have to keep making mods on it. That worries me knowing that you want to lower it and wrap it but like I said it’s not my business so do what you want to do to it. I just hope my heart can take it!🤣 Love your channel.

    Why was the deal you got so good?? That car sat for about 8 months trying to be sold. They finally sent the car to auction to get rid of it and that is where the VW dealer got it from. Seems like you could have got a better price. Also you credit must be bad because my credit union has that loan for 5.74% right now. You got hosed at 9.2. Go refinance the car right now.

    I get the finance stuff behind this.
    My story is basically this: in March 2022,
    I had a 2021 Avalon Hybrid, I was upside down on it. I had a 3.9% rate on it, so my credit was fairly decent.
    My wife and I got a 2020 4Runner to replace it. The rate was 10%. At that time, I didn’t care, because we love that beast. I made it a goal to make at least 12+ payments. We just refinanced to 7% and I did not extend the loan. So payments will eat more of the balance. We still have it and it just got rear ended. It’s not totaled but makes my conviction to keep it stronger!
    Your Mercedes is an absolutely amazing masterpiece. Keep at it! Haven’t missed a video on it!
