- I came across a mini-tweetstorm yesterday about how he's not being audited and that this is normal review for complex organizations that happens - ty97 Mar 31, 08:30 5
  - I'm honestly not 100% sure what's going on. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets audited every year if the 500 partnerships is a correct figure. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:35 3
    - (or at least some of the partnerships get audited which would flow through to him) -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:37 2

- in Canada, the answer is no, they can't refuse it, legally. -- (edited) - Andie Mar 31, 08:46
- Wow. Our lease lists the forms of payment we will accept. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 08:39
- IANAL, but my understanding is that a business can refuse to accept any form of payment it wants, technically even cash. -- nm - mafic Mar 31, 08:33 2
  - Sounds about right...it's why the DMV around here (until just recently) wouldn't take debit/credit cards. Only cash and personal checks...cause THAT - Jim Mar 31, 08:38 1
    - Do they take CC now? - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:39

LIR Jim: Leasing question - sycor Mar 31, 08:01 39 1
- We've leased my wife's last two cars. We're happy with it because she doesn't drive much and wants a new car every few years. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:12 14
  - Yeah, miles are the key, I my Del Sol and then bought it at the end which was good as I had went over a good amount on miles. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 08:19 2
    - Yep, that's what I did as well. I'm such a Camry honk that I knew when I got the car that I would be buying it in 3 years - Jim Mar 31, 08:26 1
      - I knew after I had driven it home that I was going to keep it and did the same. At the time, I could not afford to buy it so I leased knowing the buy - Spawn Mar 31, 08:41
  - (hey, do you know that amex blue has 10% back on cell phone bills through 6/30? only up to $30, but still.) -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 31, 08:18 1
    - Huh, hadn't seen that. I need to get on that. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:25
  - I really think leasing makes so much sense for me. "what's the lowest mileage lease I can get?" but I am programmed to feel as though it makes bad fis - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 31, 08:17 7
    - If you have any questions about process or anything you know where to find me. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:20 6
      - car purchased: 7/2014. miles on car now: 10200. I drive like none. had I not been driving east frequently in december of 2014, I would be at 9ish k. - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 31, 08:29 5
        
        Actually, leasing a VW might be the best idea. You don't have to worry about maintenance costs that way. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:33
        
        car purchased 1/2014. miles on car now: 47,000. -- nm - decline Mar 31, 08:32 3

        That's just her car. My car put another ~20k on. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 09:08
  - I will tell you the first thing you need to ask is if there is a TRAC clause on your lease. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:14
- We're leasing right now, and I'm quite happy thus far. - David Mar 31, 08:10 19
  - Which kbb value do they use? -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 31, 08:36 1
    - I'd have to look at the contract. The fixed price is listed in the contract. - David Mar 31, 08:52
  - I would love it more if the down payments for leases were not so high. -- nm - groiny Mar 31, 08:11 16
    - Ours was $0. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 08:13 15
      - Ours was too. -- nm - Jim Mar 31, 08:24 1
        
        I have bought 7 new cars, only one of the 7 I chose to lease. - groiny Mar 31, 08:25
      - that is unusual. - groiny Mar 31, 08:14 12
        
        That's just the advertised price. It's negotiable. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 31, 08:15 11
        
        right, which is what is attractive about the lease, is the lowest possible payment. -- nm - groiny Mar 31, 08:16 10
        
        I would refuse to lease a car if there was a downpayment. -- nm - Shaun Mar 31, 08:20 2
        
        you just pay one way or the other. -- nm - Andie Mar 31, 08:23 1
        
        Yup. Smaller monthly payments. I had totaled my previous car so I had some cash from insurance. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 08:42
        
        so you want low money down *and* a low payment? hmmmm... -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 31, 08:18 6
        
        That's the point of capitalism. -- nm - David Mar 31, 08:20

        BernieBro -- nm - decline Mar 31, 08:21
        
        If I had 3 grand to put down, I likely would not need the lower monthly payment! -- nm - groiny Mar 31, 08:20
        
        I WANTS IT ALL!!! -- nm - groiny Mar 31, 08:18
- lol...I posted this right after the roll... - Jim Mar 31, 08:02 3
  - I should also add that if the value of the car is less than the price in the lease, then that is the price you will get on the car. - Jim Mar 31, 08:04
  - Interesting. I'm really only considering leasing because of the lower payment up front. - sycor Mar 31, 08:04 1
    - I'm toying with the idea too - $ 99 a month for a new Camry is very enticing - Epiphany Mar 31, 08:08
I am hereby volunteering to be Iggy Azalea's revenge bang. - groiny Mar 31, 08:00 8

  - I don't normally, but there is something about her that I like. -- nm - groiny Mar 31, 08:29
- honestly, based on all the stories and rumours, it is hard to believe any famous person is actually faithful -- nm - Beaker Mar 31, 08:08 1
  - I am pretty sure none of them are faithful. - groiny Mar 31, 08:09
- Word. -- nm - budice Mar 31, 08:01
