She's on the record as saying it's stupid having a car she can't drive. What if she had to drive it for some reason. :ohwell:

What annoys me is that she is pretty smooth and drives it rather well but claims that it's stressful and she hates having to think about it. I have reiterated one hundred times that if she just dailied one for a couple of weeks it would be easy but she just will not do it :rolleyes:

I even offered to give her my BMW.

So I have some truly :mindblown: details if this is accurate. I'm getting the full $29k. I looked at the letter again and I believe it's because they're factoring in my trade and down payment from the transaction on the 2017 R.

Basically I'm getting reimbursed for all my monthly payments, down payment, trade, and extended warranties.

You'll be fine, but I don't envy your situation. I am sure you had better things to do with your time than dealing with all that countless back and forth and the annoyance of the orange glow at startup

It sure was annoying having to go back every few months but it got me a car 2 years newer for essentially $10-12k.

$29k for what, maybe 40 hours of "work" on the car? I don't know about you, but that is pretty nice to me.

So you're assuming the car would have been worth 0 dollars if he didn't? :lol: That's epic :plac: math.

I'd jump through those hoops to get all my money back on a three year old car! I'd even bring donuts in every visit.

I read that as zero depreciation on his cash outlay?
