I bought a car on the internet. Checking it out tomorrow, it's a 2017 never titled so you get the full original warranty.

Eat & Park ordered 2 matching Mustangs, one black one white for some kind of contest give away but never took delivery. Mustn't have sold enough hamburgers.

View attachment 4326525

I got them down to $24,800. Be rough to find a new convertible any cheaper.

No options, base convertible. A lot of stuff is standard though. Didn't give them money or sign anything yet contingent on the car being what it's advertised as-a new car. It's a Ford dealer 50 miles away so I think it's going to be fine.

I may be riding a while tomorrow.
congrats......nice capture.....

Fucking A, dude. You deserve it. I think it may be time for a new girlfriend to go with it ;)

By the way, I went on that Carvana site yesterday to look for a used Mustang.

They have a preapprove for credit thing so I filled it out. Came back 17.9% LOL.

So I called their toll free number and talked to a 'Carvana sales advocate' whatever the fuck that actually means.

So I ask about the loan shark rate and the girl says, '17.9% isn't that high, we go all the way to 28%'

Tony Soprano must own Carvana.

I have paid off 3 car loans from Ford Motor Credit since 2007 and I checked my credit score on that free site. They give you 3 scores. Low was 746, high was 795.

Ford gave me 6.something %. I've bought 2 Fords at 0.0% but that's not the rate for Mustangs I guess.

So anyway, Fuck Carvana.

They don't mention you have to pay shipping on most of their cars either.

Did I mention Fuck Carvana?

They’re a subprime lender for people with low credit scores who can’t get a loan at traditional dealerships.

“loans are actually serviced by subprime auto lender Bridgecrest, an affiliate of DriveTime.”

Wow. They don't mention that on the TV commercials.

You can finance through another bank the girl said on the phone.

Those cars all average around $20-25K too, 28% on that much money?

Holy Fuck!

Because there shit don’t stink lol I think that some stupid person came up with that and everyone was like yeah that must be it. They just have a square asshole lol. Maybe they want there shit to stand out or they don’t like anal sex and it keeps the weirdo’s away all valid theories. Ours live on flat ground there shit ain’t rolling anywhere Australia is the flattest continent on the planet.
Hypothetically some species like to keep their shit together.

I think they charge a premium on 'desired' cars.

I just bought a new 2018 F150.
MSRP was right at 50K & I got it for 37 cash.

Our bank was offering us 2.99% and Ford wanted 5.5% . . . but cash = 0% APR. Lol.
I bought a 2017 F-150 two years ago with a 38K sticker. You must have got a lot of options.

I got mine for under 30 but when you add bed liner, tonneau cover, plastic rear wheel well liners (the front were free), mud flaps, 8 yr. extended warranty and tax and license, you're back up to pushing closer to that 38K.

The payoff is down to $588 though.

Ford Motor Credit loves me.

Mine went straight to the body shop for undercoating & rhino lining in the bed for $1200, but well worth it IMHO.
