That's sounds like highly marked up property value. I would never pay that for over grown ground with no dwelling on it and all woods. Especially if I could see another house from the ground. Our farm prolly has'nt been a farm for more than 60 years. We also have a monthly income from the gas wells we have. In about 10 more years we're gonna log it out. Well if the economy changes anyway we will. Right now we're just sitting on everthing to see what's going to happen in the next 3 years of the Obamanation they call Potus.. I do have a small 4 acre residential cut I inherited but there's no dwelling on that portion. My uncle lives on and owns the other 7 acres with a family home there built by my 2 times great grandfather. Property there has been in my family on my dads side for over 100 years.

That's why it's called a stealership. Sarge, you're as old as the constitution, so you should know this by now.

ditto, twice I walked away from a dealership when I was ready to spend $50k on a new truck just because they were pissing me off.

Americans use to live that way. They would save up and pay cash for things. It is how I live, if I dont have the cash I dont buy it.. Well on everything except house and some of the cars. I have paid cash for a few cars but not a Benz... But that is how it should be done. Not paying cash is one of the biggest reason we got in this boat.... Living above your means. And who the f... buys a house on a variable rate mortgage wtf... Here give me your cash on a variable rate I get to chose the rates.. I will be kinda the first year or two...

The national average for length of time for home ownership is/was about 7 years. So a variable rate mortgage is not that far fetched for those whom don't plan to spend 20,30+ years in any one home. In which case a variable rate mortgage makes sense because they are usually sub-prime before the term limits and they adjust higher. Taking on a variable rate mortgage if you plan to own any one property longer than the rate limits is just idiotic. A locked in rate is nearly always higher than the prime rate, but stays the same durring volitile times where the prime may jump/skyrocket.. Long & short, If someone plans to stay to in a home for the full 20-30+ years than a locked in rate is the way to go. If not, a variable rate is great if you plan to bail before the term limits..

ever see highlander? That's who sarge is. He's just been around so damn long he's collected all these artifacts and that's where he got his money.

I hate car salesmen too.....not the actual person but the job they have to do. Had one last week telling me that the way to look at the trade in value of my car was to lop it in together with the price of their truck and my final payment would tell me if I was getting a good deal or not. Seriously, does anyone buy that shit?

**SHines-IT** · 12-08-2009, 11:46 PM

My parents are trading in there 2008 Dodge Ram Quad Cab Hemi 4x4 loaded out AND 2007 Harley Davidson Valued at $16,500 or so.... On a 2009 or 2010 Chevy... FUCKING MALIBU BASE MODEL!!!!! WTF, really? Shit, why don't I go trade my Corvette in on a 99 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 LT, witch is not a bad idea really...

**pecha** · 12-09-2009, 06:13 AM

I don't mind BSing with car salesmen but what really makes me mad is when they don't know anything about the car they're trying to sell me.
I called one of them on it. He told me 300C SRT8 is AWD, I said that it's not he insisted that it is so I told him I would make him a deal - if it is AWD, I will buy it, if it's not he will give me the car. He never came back from the showroom to talk to me

They still hound you like a south Texas buzzard.

It seems I spend about 3-4 months every year in Texas (Houston specifically) for work. Let’s just say that it's not for me, I'm usually ready to be home after a couple of weeks.

i figured ...i've heard that about houston

I know they totally suck but a lot of that shit they pulled on you is probably crap that the sales manager and general manager scream at them in meetings about how they should do it. Procedure if you will. Its ironic though, cause thats the easiest sale that guy will ever get too. Just write the paperwork up let you leave and take the commission. The sales people just get so ingrained with their bs its hard for them to actually just act normal and be real people for a minute.

**mmciau** · 12-11-2009, 10:55 AM

They knew it was Sarge and SWMBO and as a source of entertainment, they know how to wind him up!!

**chiller2484** · 12-11-2009, 10:59 AM

What Sarge doesn't know is that his salesmen is actually a member of ls1.com and wanted to see him post up about his experience. Sarge has been quiet lately in the AAG section, and this specific salesman was just trying to help spice things up a bit.
