In Denver 😁. Just kidding—I doubt you'll find anyone willing to touch them.
My take? It’s probably not until we fully integrate into the European Union that people will actually be able to take out credit in another country. The bottleneck right now is that we can't effectively execute guarantee claims—think things like triggering forced collections—until we're essentially operating as "one state."
Hmm, looking at this company's inventory—prices seem pretty low. Is that just the starting bid at auction, or can you actually pay and drive away? Also, does anyone know of any other outfits dealing in seized vehicles that an average person can actually access without being part of some insider circle?
Here’s my take—and I could be wrong—but the DSS shouldn't give you much grief about withdrawing funds to build a house. It’s a massive upgrade to the happy child's quality of life, and at the end of the day, it stands as an asset for the future. You just need to lay out a solid argument for why the money is being pulled, but personally, I don't see this being an issue.
Quick question about leasing: what actually happens to the cars once the five-year term is up and the drivers hand them back? Is it possible for an individual like me to just walk in and pick up one of those returned vehicles at that 20% residual value?
I’ve heard rumors that they often offload these repo'd or returned vehicles for pennies on the dollar before the lease even officially expires—though I’m assuming you’d need an inside connection to get the heads-up on those auctions.
There’s an alternative that works perfectly fine over in West Germany—except here, they scrapped it under the guise of getting rid of "communist relics." 😁
The Germans use this housing cooperative model that basically operates like a lease-to-own setup. You sign a 15-year contract, pay your rent consistently, and at the end of those 15 years, you have the right to buy out the unit at a minimal price.
Around here? It’s either buy a place and pray you can afford it, get lucky enough to have someone hand you a house (parents, relatives, whatever), or pay rent to a landlord—which, if you ask me, is just throwing money straight into the wind. That’s easily the worst option.
