You will make that mistake only once. Make it habit, ebrake every time you put the car in neutral to park, as you come to a stop, hand on ebrake and up instantly, before you turn the car off. That way you don't forget.

Re: Goodbye Ralliart...

Interest rates all depend on your credit. There's nothing we can do as a dealer to affect that other than shop your credit score around to multiple banks and see who gives you a better offer.

What I can tell you is that both Richard (our general manager) and I lease ours. That'll get you in around or under 600 a month (again, depending on your credit). Buying one, you gotta figure about $20 a month for every $1000 you borrow. So, if you paid nothing down other than tax, title, and licence you're talking about 35K around 700/month without interest.

Re: Goodbye Ralliart...

$600 a month just to lease? That sounds just stupid to me. Expecially in the end you have to give it back. No car is worth that. Lol

Are you guys selling more than just cars to afford those payments?

Re: Goodbye Ralliart...

Leasing is like marriage with the option of divorce. If you hate it after 3 years, give it back. If you still love it, buy it. If you know you're going to buy something at the end of the lease, like I am, then miles don't matter. It's just simply a way of breaking up your loan payments.

Re: Goodbye Ralliart...

If you know your gonna buy then how come not just slightly used? I've seen a few go for 26-28k not 2012's but yeah. Payments would be $100-$150 less a month. Not hating on your decision as that all yours. Just simply asking questions? Either way that octane blue looks sexy. But when it's time to write that monthly check I'd puke!

Wouldn't dating be like leasing? Lol.

25-28k you're looking at 40k miles still. Those things hold their value. That's something that's already out of warranty!

Re: Goodbye Ralliart...

Looking good!

255 with e85 install kit works well, i rocked a 255 with ghetto diy kit that worked for 6 months, but I'd say get an actual kit.

I like the blue for sure, but I like all the colors.

Re: Goodbye Ralliart...

No offense but the asking price from your dealer seems high. $600+ per month is allot. I've bought 34k cars with allot less payments.

600 a month isn't what were asking. We ask for a dollar amount for the total price of the car + ttl. The monthly payment depends on a ton of other factors; total sale price, add ons (accessories, warranty, etc) the amount you're putting down, if you have a trade and what that is worth, your interest rate which depends soley on your credit, how long of a loan you take, and if you're leasing or buying.

Two people could buy identical cars for 33,999 and have very different monthly payments.

Car looks nice. Not sure if I would have emptied my savings account to lease one, but different strokes. Good luck with her!
