What’s your monthly payment on that buyout?To answer Papa John's initial question... We lease all our Butlers with a $1.00 buy out at the end of the lease. We have been doing that for years with no issues.
That's what I want to know. And what wss the package and starting price?What’s your monthly payment on that buyout?
Saiger" data-source="post: 4537001" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch">Ok....well, time to set this a bit straight on cooling of the Butler...
First....DO NOT RUN WITH THE VAN HOOD OPEN...
Butler already takes all this into account.
They modify the front air intake...change up the fan to a larger flex fan...put on a Non Thermal Fan clutch to always spinning and cooling....
They also put on a smaller alternator if really want to know things...well at least order them from the factory with smaller alternator so the Clutch for the Butler is always straight and never need greasing.
Back to the cooling also and fan belts...they run a double belt so you don't have to worry about there being a problem with a single Serpentine Belt needing to be perfectly in line all the time and keep spinning the fan and other parts.
The fan system is meant to keep the transmission, Fuel pump, motor of course and other parts cool with that hood closed.
Butler also has a special compound belt made to handle high heat situations...
I ran my Van in Vegas at the Mikey's Fest pretty much wide open on high and cleaning and chugging in 110 degree heat for 3 days...4 hours each day non stop...
Butler takes into consideration all these conditions....
So I repeat....DO NOT RUN WITH THE VAN HOOD OPEN...
OK?!?!?!
So, do you know that from personal Experience?Also very dangerous. Can greatly impede forward vision. And if you're going fast enough, wind will rip that sucker clean off the hinges.
My first car was a 66 mustang I gave a $100 for. The hood didn't latch right and cane up when I wasdoing 55. Scared the beegusus out of me.So, do you know that from personal Experience?
You would need to check with a lender to figure that one out. It really comes down to the cost to borrow money at the time. Leasing with a $1.00 buyout or a traditional loan is just how the equipment shows up on your books. You may want to talk to your accountant to see which method is teh right way to goWhat’s your monthly payment on that buyout?
I'm pretty sure Hagopian gets a fleet like pricing as they have a larger buying power.. I could be wrong but it's all business..
