I guess if you can't shop around for a long term rental and get a good rate, then you've got other problems than getting a rental.
You're arguing something completely different here....you're arguing if you should buy a particular car at all versus buying it at a time when people are going to cause dealers to rape them. I've never said don't buy a Fit...but I certainly would not be the first in line with my pants around my ankles signing my life way at the dealer. 
See...now you are showing your true colors. You have nothing to say at all so you turn to personal attacks...on a concept car no less...LOL....I just put it there because it looked interesting. I'm sure you had no clue what it is until you right-clicked and looked the picture's properties and link name....oh deary you're very very desperate.
Well...good for you....I'll look into buying one a couple of grand less than you paid for it after a little bit of waiting so enjoy! 
Yeah...it is. It game me peace of mind not to be a sucker and buy an overpriced car when I was in a transition. |
I'll keep this real simple for you, re-read what I said about rentals for periods of time lasting 8+weeks.
Then re-read about needing a car and how it's not about being a sucker purchase for some, but rather a current (and real) need.
As for childish? Says the guy with the C-Cactus hanging off his wall and boasting about his career.
I'm all about needs versus wants, check my previous threads, which I'm sure you have already done.
Someone mentioned climate control and I thought it was silly to pay for something which most of us have not had in our cars before...case in point.
PS - If you buy your coffee through the drive-thru at a coffee shop (keep in mind, over the years, it does add up), you're a sucker. You realize the mark up on one cup?
If you have A/C, you're a sucker, you don't really need it, do you?
Point is, everything has a price.
People worry about getting digital cameras and make thread about wanting to buy now or wait and buy later.
If they wait in order to try and save money or wait for that new model that's rumored to come out, they miss out on tons of opportunities to take some great shots.
To me, there's no price on that - do a search.
If someone needs a car, likes it, then why not buy it.
If they don't know how to haggle the price a bit, then
they have some serious issues and need to learn how to work the sales people.
Etc, etc...
I'm done, Mr. Climatologist (boasting?).
PS - As for checking out your signature teen poster car, you're right.
I got things in my life prioritized, they are, life, career and future family.
I just care that I get a car that suits my needs, work the price down and carry on with my life.
Maybe when I have a little time, I'll dig around for some cool cars and add it to my signature.
