You can't always predict it... as long as you stick to this vehicle I don't see an issue. The problem is :plac: and the constant lighting of 4-5 figures per car transaction on fire... think about it... you could have replaced an engine or 10 in the RX8 for that money... :yikes:
:dat:

Each transaction is quite the :wasteful:

I am debating offing the Beemah post all of this... but the flip side is that it's a $15K car, I've already lit almost $10K on fire after tax, depreciation, modz, maintenance... and if I off I I'll inevitably get sick of DD in the C5 at some point. But currently I'm making a payment on it monthly, paying insurance on two cars, reg rape on two cars, etc. and I don't even drive either.
:sad: it isn't an automatic

I would be shocked if he has actual :plac: profit after the latest round of negative equity... I am willing to put a wager on him having 0 equity in the car. NOT EVEN :plac: profit.

Has he ever in the last few cars? Didn't he roll a bunch of negative equity into the VW?

I think the last :plac: profit was when he went form :egg: to another Charger... then went back to the :egg: with :plac: loss. Considering the loaded GTI + tons of mods/time wasted, I am sure he is 45-50k in the :egg: while it is worth 15-18k on trade.

Oh, you're factoring in total ownership cost with modz. Dude's never had a real :plac: profit ever then.

IIRC, he doesn't pay off his credit cards, so it's probably fair to roll in some of the modz cost in the :plac: profit equation. There's no doubt that in total he owes more on that car than it's worth. Especially with the apocalypse.

Neg equity... I think he rolled in at least 5k.

I thought he had an SE but he has the :fullretard: autobahn...

So... 37k+5k neg equity... - maybe 3k off.... + TAX... he is likely at right around 40K +-3k... car is worth at MOST 15-18k... and he has had it how long ? 2 years? we all know as he mentioned this... He can't afford much more than $500 a month so he is likely @ 72 month stretch pay... that's 583 a month + interest...

So lets just say... he paid for it for 2 years... So he has paid off 14k out of the total of around 40k... so... 26k OWED... so by my rough :math: he is about 10k underwater now. BEFORE MODZ, which I am sure amounted to 10k by now.

Follow up... based on his channel it is in fact an SE so ... subtract 4k from the underwater cost... but based on my 10 second search this is what he changed on his Nearly NEW GTI

4 Oil changes before 15k miles
B piller trim
Sub
Speakers
Wipers
Intercooler
Pulleys
Some sort of muffler work
tires (Michelin AS3)
Paddles
Floor mats
wheel spacers
Unibrace
Oil pan
Spoiler
Brake lines

And that's what I can just find ...
