Reason Number One Hundredy Billion the Dealership Model Sucks

[b4black]

That's the problem. No dealership in CA wants to get stuck with that i3 thing. If it were a 7 series, they would all accept it.

Sell it to Del

Didn't know BMW had an i3. Had to look it up.

Seriously, what the heck is that? I presume all electric.

Can't believe there's something uglier than Aztek.

The car was actually quite nice. I have no complaints. It's large inside, really well built, handled like a go kart... It doesn't compete on paper now, even with increased range but it was a reasonable proposition in 2016, especially for the 259 a month we leased it for.

Keep lying to yourself. I tell myself my penis is "over 4 inches too"....

I was gonna say... You tell yourself what you need to hear.

Given the choice between that and a good pair of Nike's, I'd take the Nike's.

Didn’t know a dealership can refuse to take an end of lease vehicle.

One would think BMW would coordinate where to return a leased vehicle.

[MENTION=10343]Bub[/MENTION] need a verdict

I'm not even sure who or what we're ruling on here. I3 vs Mike K vs LA Traffic vs BMW dealer?? All losers if you ask me however I rule

I3: 1
Mike K: 0
BMW: 1
L.A. Traffic: 0

I considered a pre owned i3 because they were under $20k but the range is what killed it for me.

 

[EmersonHart13]

SHO>i3

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I don't think this thread went as Mike K intended it to go.

Just curious Mike. Why did you decide to lease instead of buy?

 

[EmersonHart13]

His entire life is rented or leased. Im not even sure he owns underwear

He has told me this multiple times to my face.

He has also told me how beautiful he thinks he is.

The dealership doesn't own the car, so they have two options. The majority go to auction and if it's a nice car they can buy it from BMW Financial. What I've read is that BMW financial doesn't really cut a break to the dealers on pricing/residual, so they often just buy them back at auction at a lower price.

So basically, I am not sure why they wouldn't take the car in unless storage was over capacity.

I read that, I was just more curious as to why.

Why is his entire life rented or leased? Because he lives in California.

I'm probably missing something. That doesnt really seem like a reason to me though.

 

[EmersonHart13]

He lives in the Hollywood Hills outside of LA. One of the most expensive places to live. So he rents everything to keep up appearances and chat it up with B List celebrities when he drops his kids off at school.

In reality he should be living in Grand Rapids MI with his boy Zoomer...
