Dear Unkie Stinky:

Does the fact that I hope somehow UCONNs women's basketball team manages to lose tonight reflect some sort of bias on my part or is more that I think Gino is a dick?

Apologies in advance if I should have consulted the other Oracle.

Although she ain't been around much lately.

Hey UnkieT,

So I found the perfect car. Doubles as a work rig too. 2007 Honda Element SC. 18k on the ODO and they want $17k for it. It's been sitting on the dealership lot for over two months, so I'm going to try and talk them down to $15k. It's also CPO'd so I can lease it, and put it in my companies name.

Should I wait and try and come up with a few grand in cash to help offset the difference on the lease of my s2000 (about $5k) or just roll that $5k in to the Element lease. I was already told by the dealership I could do it. And no matter how you look at it.. $20k lease payment is WAY better than a $35k lease payment.

But: Should I wait, and only roll over a max of $3k, or just get it while I can, and roll over the $5k? Hypothetically, I wouldn't have the few grand in cash for a couple of months.


Thanks!

If you're leasing against the company, just roll the difference into your lease.

You don't think the $5k will add a lot to the payment? The idea is to A) lower the payment and B) have a functional car.

PS, I ended up not going to that investment thing. Seemed way too shady...

UnkieT,

Is it fair to call you my unofficial mentor?

The other one moved to seattle and changed his number. What a douchebag.
