Walnut, Diamond Bar, West Co, Asian areas like both 99ranch markets, Hong Kong Supermarket, Life Plaza seen them all, all shapes and colors

 

Watch your Uncle is like my neighbor lol... How many times have you passed by my house Henry? but weird thing is I dont see any nice cars on Amar or your car


I agree about creekside park, Ive seen you there more than twice last time I dunno if you noticed me in the black suv though. I was honking at you in front of Oswalt Elementary. Also I've seen a few nice ones on Lemon before.

 

?! which part? dealership plate? if it has that that means the car is still new?

 

yeah, hongkong supermarket, from time to time i see some "weird" thing there. i remember the first time i saw a skyline gtr my jaw almost dropped

 

well, if you see my car, that means i am ringing your bell bro

 

lol, i recognized you in your pathfinder, was it? hahaha

 

You mean if it has a temp tag? The general public usually don't drive w/ Dealer Plates. If I buy an '04 Ferrari from a private party and drive it around(I use Dealer plates) the car is not new Not sure what you mean. A car w/ out a plate can mean a lot of things

 

One of the plus points of being extremely wealthy is that you can afford to pay for anything in cash. This way, you don't have to end up paying like 30% over the actual price of the car (Ferrari in this case) over the course of 2-3 years and then taking up a HUGE blow at the end of your lease or installment to carry you over to the next car.

For example, when I was living in the US, I was looking to buy a BMW 850ci (it was the hottest thing back in 96 hehehe) and the dealer told me that I have to pay almost as much as $80,000 for the car if I am going to pay them over 4 years.

So I just asked, what if I pay you in cash right now? The guy was stunned for a second and said, well, we never actually had anyone ask me that before, but let me do some calculations and I will call you back in a couple of days. Few days later, he called me back with a $59,000 sticker price!!!! That's 25% off the original price he gave me. Even if I drove the car around for a year or so, I could turn around and sell it again for like $55,000 and someone will bite. Imagine that, driving an 850ci for a whole year and paying only $4000. But no, I didn't end up purchasing the bimmer. I couldn't imagine being in college and driving an 8-series, it'd invite a lil too much attention....

A crazier thing happened with my friend who purchased his NSX up front with cash brand new (turnaround 94 model that he bought in Feb 95) for $51,000. He drove it for almost 2 years and sold it to another dude for $49,000. $2000 to drive an NSX for 2 years??????

Seriously, cash is power. And I bet you a lot of these ferrari owners operate the same way. Heck, if you had to ask how much is the lease on these beasts per month, you really probably cannot afford it....

 

well yeah i know some people (manaray) doen't drive around with any plates, but most people (even exotic), when they get the plates from dmv, they put them on

 

yeah if you have the cash man....

but a brand NEW nsx for 50k?!

 

actually it was a black explorer, but who cares its stock nothing special

 

yeah if you have the cash man....

but a brand NEW nsx for 50k?!


1. yup, cash's king.
2. 50k sounds a bit low, doesn't it? but i'm sure jtanoyo1's earned the right to talk about his friend's story.

oh btw he says just call him jon

 

yeah, the msrp on the nsx is 80k+, 50k is even low for a used?

 

I can corroborate (sp?) the NSX story, when my parents were shopping for cars in the early 90's i remember going with them, and we had no intention of getting an NSX but they had one there for around 50K and i think about it now and just wish we had picked it up.....

so his story isnt so far fetched, it really did happen!
