wealthier people in other countries buy the products, is what happens now.
Sure, the sales guy sits down and shows you this:
and you see that monthly payment and go 🥴 and then your new ‘friend’ helps you get that payment down to something you can afford.
They then go through a bunch of antics designed to confuse you, the monthly payment drops a ton but overall you’re getting reamed on the deal (often longer payments at worse terms for instance) then they get you to initial it and will then hold that over your head as if it’s legally binding.
It’s a huge pain in the ass, and you won’t win, they are experts at it. Negotiate the price of the car and the price of your trade in separately. Ideally you will have sold your ‘trade in’ on the private market and pre secured your loan through a credit union but that isn’t always possible.
For a better more comprehensive explanation see the article i just stole that image from: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/buying-a-car/beat-four-square-and-other-car-dealership-sales-tactics-a7590220303/?srsltid=AfmBOopFCHIp5zbHgU1xngvt_LLdWvkEu_3zG6cCGcAFp9JWpwYtGL5_
I hate them, but if you treat it like a game and operate within their rules it can be fun instead of a pain. I think if it a lot like poker. I sure would bluff my own grandma to win a pot. Same thing in car buying. They aren’t your friends but your adversaries.
I have bought 7-8 cars of my own over the years and helped 4 friends buy cars because they know I love doing it.
First, if at all feasible bring several thousand dollars cash, no matter what your goal is. When you buy a car without cash the sales people get their cut at the end of the month in a lot of places but if your cash down payment is large they will usually get their cut immediately and this puts them a little more on your side at the close. Make sure you show them the cash when you’re safely doing a test ride and tell them you want to give it to them! Don’t do this if you can’t do it while feeling safe i’m very large and do car shopping mostly in big safe city areas.
Second, don’t ever fall in love with a car. You always have to be prepared to walk away from a bad deal. And in fact you will find that your willingness to walk away can often get you a better deal. I balked once over a $300 dealer fee, that only popped up while signing paperwork. They bitched at me, a lot, (we had been at the deal for about five hours) but they got the fee worked off.
Third, do not ever let them get you into the ‘four square’ that’s a suckers game. Negotiate the price of the vehicle directly or go to another dealership that will. I have been forced to leave when the sales guy told me flat out the four square was a requirement at their dealership. Smart for them but lame for you it’s like playing a complicated game for the first time against someone who plays it many times a day and is hugely financially incentivized to confuse you with it. Refuse it.
If you are buying a new car (which i don’t really recommend) wait until they have given you the absolute rock bottom lowest price. Then tell them that you think there’s still a little room. On speakerphone call other dealerships in your area and tell them the price you’re getting offered on that exact make and model. If it’s actually a good price they will tell you they can’t beat it. I have been invited across town to save $1,000, whereupon the now angry sales manager agreed to match that price. You gotta do it on the speakerphone with them hearing the better offer though or you’ll have to drive to the other dealership. They have heard that ‘it’s $1000 cheaper over on the eastside’ before.
Don’t be rude, don’t be an intentional dick, but play their sleezy game with their rules and you can save a lot of money.
It’s a shitty system that should be abolished.
Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman and Raytheon Technologies. Just pure, unmitigated evil.
This is my go to as well. They know way more about hair and style than me. My haircut life got way easier when I have no expectations and just let them do their thing.
great now i gotta change the combination on my luggage
I know this!
I only ever had the soylent in the bottles. I was really surprised when i tried unflavored soy milk and it was almost the exact same flavor as the white bottles! Soylent is just soy milk with vitamins in it!

after watching this zoomed in a bunch of times Rock really is leading with his face towards Smith’s hand and reacts as he swings but it’s also possible he just figured out what Smith had in mind because they are friends or something and he read it in his face.
I have been (deservedly) hit by friends and known as the person was approaching me what their intent was.
He definitely looks ready for it though I agree with you on that part!
yeah also the AI shit in Messenger is annoying af. If you tap wrong suddenly you’re in ‘ai helper mode’ and have to exit out to finish your message.

i use it to make outlines which are usually very good and then I use the class materials to flesh out the outlines in my own words. All my words but ChatGPT told me what to include and in what order.
the dog that bites cops? I’d vote for that dog!

climate change is heating the earth, this is causing the atmosphere to retain more water which allows for more heating, and more energy in the weather systems that fuel hurricanes. Hurricanes will continue to grow in frequency and intensity as the atmosphere continues to heat.
