@@nishant54 Terry Pratchet's play Men At Arms explains it well: "The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”

Taxation equals representation and poor people are taxed far less than rich people.

You pay it off in you're first payment.
@ThePegasusAirforce2 жыл бұрын
They were actually wrong about that. Buying a brand new car in full is almost always a waste of money. Pretty much any brand new high end car is going to depreciate very quick, so having money tied up in a depreciating asset is never a good idea. Depreciation can be used as a tax right off, but a much better option is to finance/lease the car, and then invest the money you would have spent on the car elsewhere, at a higher return rate than the interest of your loan. Ideally that way, your investment will be covering a bulk of your car payment (if not more + profit) and at the end youll have both a car and some other form of asset, rather than just a single depreciating car. The only exceptions to this rule are used cars, in which case interest rates are usually too high to justify a loan. Even regular people shouldn't be buying brand new cars in full though. Even if you don't plan on investing the money, you'll probably lose more money on depreciation than you will on the interest of a lease.

Great channel! But... your lead-in premise about "how rich people get super cars for super cheap..." doesn't really hold water. Expensive cars (or anything over valued, really) are made expressly to sell to those rich types that want prestigious items. And if prices are discounted, it ain't by much and certainly not because they're paying cash. Buying the car as a business write-off also doesn't affect the price at the dealership. Dealerships do not cut deals to cash buyers for two big reasons: 1. dealerships get paid in full on every car sold because they're not carrying the note. 2. They get paid a kickback for shopping you around to a list of "preferred" lenders. Also, modern dealership business models rely on packing the financing portion of the purchase with a half-dozen or more fleecing techniques that increase the profit margin on each sale. Cash buyers eliminate those opportunities and the only way to make up for that loss is to sell at the highest price possible. Cash buyers are the last people dealerships and sales people want. Need proof? Pull up to the sales rep porch at your local dealership, get out and ask loudly "who wants to sell me my next car for cash money?!" They will scatter like roaches. ...or you could just "research" YT for what not to do when paying cash.

I think he was addressing the tax benefits of being able to write off, let's say 60%, of the initial cost when buying a vehicle. For example: I go to my local Mercedes dealer and pay $150k for a GWagon, but I work for Microsoft and don't own a business and therefor no LLC. Now come tax season I can't write off any costs for purchasing the GWagen as it's a personal vehicle. Guy 2 also heads to his local Mercedes dealer and buys the same car but he's created an LLC for his side business that makes beer coasters(he also writes this off, but that's another story). Dude claims the GWagon is a company car and with the tax deduction writes of 60% of the cost. He's still paying the $150k like me but he's getting $85K back because it's the "company car" with tax break A BC and D. He also puts all his dough in the market and borrows against it for his spending cash. This is so he doesn't pay a much higher rate in interest for capitol gains taxes. You are 100% right about paying cash for a car. It carry the same weight as a bag of wet mice. The idea is to write off as much as legally possible to offset your gains. It's percentage rate vs percentage rate and when it comes to millions or billions 3% is a lot better than 11% just for example.

I'm driving a 2006 Monte Carlo that has engine power reduced, a rusted through exhaust, a transmission that is slipping, no abs no traction control, a rain leak in the driver side door, 220k miles. You get it, the car is crap. I have to pay $450.00 a month for it, for 2 years. And it's because 1. I can't go to dealerships have "null credit" because I'm 20 yo and have never done anything to affect it. 2. I haven't worked at my job long enough(7 months) for dealerships to accept my pay stubs. And I haven't lived in my apartment long enough(1 1/2 years) to use it as a reference. 3. I don't have a co signer. Etc. So in order to obtain a car by myself, I went to a buy here, pay here. I can't afford to blow $3000 on a car. The cheapest apt in my town is $500/ month, with no utilities included. I make about $900 a month and all my bills together is roughly $770 with insurance, internet, groceries, and utilities included. It would take a while to save up $3000 for a half decent car. And seeing people drive brand new 2021 Camrys, and escalades, and tundras, and f150s and Camaros, makes me want to fkms. And there's a guy here in town who drives an all black g-wagon, and occasionally drives his all black, slammed skyline gtr. I'm frickin done

Really is a shame, because you're paying for a car that probably has almost no value once it is paid off. Those buy here pay here places are notorious for making a car barely drivable and throwing a big sticker price on it for someone with bad/no credit to buy. If you pay it off, they make a bunch of money. If you default payment, they didn't really sink much into it. Only advice I can say is get a credit card and pay off bills with it to open a credit line. Don't spend more than you make and always pay it off to never get behind. This will help you with purchase power when buying a car and a house with lower APR. Buy a used Japanese car that has a good reliable track record. They are generally more reliable than American. You should start watching some car repair videos to accustom yourself with car repairs in the future. ChrisFix is a good youtuber with the most in depth and user friendly videos.

@@trickmiller8169 I grew up in my old step dad's mechanic shop, and I've been fixing what I can on my car, I don't have access to a lift or any tools to pull anything out of it. I've replaced the throttle body, gas pedal, driver side mirror, radiator, and replaced a o ring that was causing steering fluid to leak. I can't take out the motor/transmission to fix the slipping issue because I don't have the tools required. But if I did, I could fix it. I got a credit card about 6 months ago, and I've been using it for my gas station stops, and the internet bill. I've been wanting a Toyota Camry or a Corolla because I know how reliable they can be

@@Sweetness_01 Word to the wise, don't buy a brand new car. You will get a higher apr with newer credit and by the time your car is paid off, your car is worth less than half of what you paid. A car can lose up to 60% of its value in the first three years. Also keep in mind the cost to repair your vehicle compared to the total value of the vehicle. If it comes time to replace the transmission in your Monte Carlo, you have to ask yourself is spending the money worth it if you won't see the value added back into the price of the car.

@@Psi-Storm I'd negotiate with the finance manager and ask for $x,xxx.xx off what I negotiated to with the sales person.

If they did I'd use their financing then be sure I understood any clawback provisions on incentives; typically 90 days before you can payoff the loan. Then I'd pay off the loan.

When it did I went back to ask when new car was going to be ready? They didn't know, So told them deal is off give me MY car back......Terrified look in salesman's eyes they did not have my car (I knew I had found it with another garage).

I have had to defend a few clients on audits when they didn't recapture the 179 deduction on the return when they traded in their heavy vehicle. You can always deduct the whole cost of any company car. Section 179 just takes it in one year, rather than 5. But you must also recapture it. AND you have to recognize any trade-in value that you receive. It's not just for the rich, and it's not as simple as you make it sound.

No. With the example cited, the person was in the highest tax bracket and bought a vehicle that fits the weight (and other) requirements for a "full write-off" (i.e. the entire cost of the vehicle is a tax deduction). Deducting that $95k (reducing the "taxable income" portion of total income by $95k) results in the buyer owing $34k less in overall taxes, than he would have if he didn't deduct anything, which in the end would "feel like" he paid $34k less for the car (net spend). It's slightly oversimplified, but the idea is sound.

Yeah i think he got $33250 by taking the $95k of the price x 35% to get to the net tax benefit.

@matthudak34852 жыл бұрын
The first example isn’t entirely correct, many dealerships make most of their money off buyers that finance. That being said, you should NOT disclose that you are buying outright because the dealership is losing out on profit. If you want the best negotiation possible, tell the dealership that you are considering financing the vehicle through their dealership, and then buy the vehicle outright.

@oldtimefarmboy6172 жыл бұрын
It is not that simple. What he is talking about is called depreciation and you have to have a legitimate business that you are trying to make a profit with. If you buy what is classified as a capital investment, like a vehicle, you are not allowed to take the entire purchase price as an expense, which reduces your profit, in the year you buy it. You must spread the expense over a period of years. For a light vehicle, that is five years. But then they put in place rules that allow you to take up to one half the purchase price the first year and then spread the rest of the cost over the next four years. But if your revenue is above a certain amount you can not do that. And you can not claim depreciation greater than your revenue. And if you use it for personal use you can only claim depreciation on the percent used for business and the same is true for any expenses for maintaining the vehicle. And the vehicle must be appropriate for the business use. And the amount you spend on it that you can depreciate is capped depending on what type of vehicle it is and is used for. And then there is about a dozen other rules that must be complied with. So if you want to do what the rich do all you have to do is do what the rich do. But remember, if you do not start making a profit with your business in about five years, the IRS will be sending you a letter asking you to explain why. And you do not want to go there and face an IRS agent by yourself which means hiring an accountant or tax lawyer which is another expense. So go knock yourself out and good luck with it.

As someone looking for a car right now there are some issues with trying to get a deal. First, the used car market is insane. I was looking for a 3rd gen V6 Rav4 and the prices are nuts. I'm in Canada and people are asking $15-20k for a 2007 with 150,000+km (and all the cheaper ones are garbage). A brand new Rav4 starts at $28k. Second, inventory is a major issue. Given the pricing, I decided to go for a new Rav4 instead. I wanted more power (why I wanted an older V6 in the first place) so I wanted a Rav4 Prime that has around 300hp (nearly 100 more than the others). Went to the dealer and found out there is a 2+ year waiting list. Good luck negotiating on a car with a multi-year wait list. So if you want some vehicle that no one else does then I guess you can negotiate, but it seems like for anything in demand you basically wait to get whatever you can and be happy with whatever you're told it costs. Currently I'm just hoping my G35 lives long enough for the market to get back to normal.
