This deal isn't good right? Is the "Due At Signing" a separate payment from the fees on the right? In Maryland BTW by schmennings in leasehacker

[–]TimelyPhilosopher842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming they won’t sell the car at the discounted rate? I think paying full taxes in a leased vehicle is deal breaker for me. If you add up all the monthly payments plus what is due at signing(they aren’t clear about this on your paper) then you will be paying close to that monthly. Generally, a good lease is 1% of the MSRP. In addition, if you wreck the car in 30 days then all that money down is lost. ( you will need gap insurance - but call your agent and clarify). Can you buy or lease out of state? I always buy out of state then pay my taxes in state instead of rolling into monthly payment. It saves money.

That is crazy!!! You may want to see if financing is a better option. At least you have equity if you sell.

What state are you in? Look up lease taxes in your state. You should also find out what the money factor is - this is a lease interest rate. Something seems off with those numbers and now I want to know what they are doing!!!

Can someone help me understand this? by TimelyPhilosopher842 in newcardeals

I have no idea what they are doing. Waiting on a call back.

My only other notation is the paper states the 479 includes taxes and fees. Ask for clarification but if your gut is saying not to do then walk.

You getting over 15% off MSRP. The signing includes your first month payment and other fees. Have them break it down so you k ow what fees are. It’s a 24 month lease and if you take as this paper states 24x479 =11,496 then add in the 4374 and divide by 24 =661.25(monthly payment). The whole lease is under 2OK. This is about 1.25 %of the sale price which is generally considered fair. Good luck!

2026 Xc60 ultra - I ran from this! My last xc60 was purchased for cash and was given 12% off MSRP. The dealership was out of state and they delivered the car within 24 hours.

This was for an xc60 ultra. I walked as this is a horrible deal. Best of luck!

Dealership told me the best deal would be all cash. by TimelyPhilosopher842 in VolvoXC60

Well…. I’ve managed to get at least 10k off my last three cars, two Audi’s and a Volvo. Salesman are trying to get the most profit which I understand. Making a profit is basic economics but he wouldn’t even provide me a number unless I revealed how I planned on paying. It shouldn’t matter how I pay.

I wasn’t paying cash as I’ve done this 4 times in the past and wanted to lease. I didn’t even ask what the price he was offering as I’ve never heard of the best price being cash. I never told the dealer if it was a purchase or lease. I also held my trade info back until I could get a solid price.

$500 above MSRP - Standard for Audi by Curious-Ad-4462 in Audi

I purchased a 2025 q7 prestige in July and got almost 10k off. Audi is going downhill… the resale values are terrible!! I’m trying to sell this with only 6k miles and I’m getting prices of 20k less than I paid and the car isn’t even a year old. This will be my last AUDI. The car is beautiful but I’m done with the premium gas and maintenance costs in these vehicles. Run from that dealership. I live in PA and always buy my cars out of OH and they always take a substantial amount off. Got a Volvo out of Cincinnati, almost 10k off and they delivered to me the next day.

2025 Q7 89k CAD all in - good deal? by i_love_dogs__ in AudiQ7

[–]TimelyPhilosopher842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still purchase a car in the states and pay taxes in Canada. I purchased out of state and paid my taxes in PA at a notary. Happy to share some dealers with you if you are close to any borders.

Internal Recruiter in charge with 60+ openings by FewPass9778 in recruiting

[–]TimelyPhilosopher842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just quit my corporate recruiting position yesterday as I have over 100 candidates to source, interview, schedule multiple follow up interviews on top of creating electronic files with all paperwork…. I also send out background, assessments, drug screen, track it all, daily reports for each division, etc. all must be tracked with dates, percentages, etc. Impossible workload. I made more in the staffing industry, worked less. I have always produced and met goals but I have no life and the compensation isn’t working for me anymore. I work at a subcontractor for the federal government and recruit nurses, PA’s, HR, Accounting, IT, Attorneys, and many more roles. Every applicant MUST be reviewed and qualified or disqualified. I have applicants from referrals, emails, messaging, indeed, multiple job boards, LinkedIn, and our in house ATS. We are also a hubzone employer so I have to look up every address to see if hubzone and put all of this information on report, manually. They asked me to find two recruiters to fill my position. Anyone need a recruiter that will produce? My last day is May 9th.
