My New Bulter Christmas Present to me!

[Mark Saiger]

New Butler just arrived! All the bells and whistles added. 2.5 inch hose reel, 210 waste tank, 110 fresh tank, high heat and large blower, Kenwood Stereo with Gps added including Bluetooth, Sirrius XM satelite radio, Back up camera with some great new features, Remote start, the custom wheels and tires....it is loaded! Van was "0" percent financing for 5 years! Couldn't turn that down. Plus, one of my other vans I had sold to my brother Dave Saiger in our Bemidji, MN account. Good for me and good for him!

It's in getting the FULL vinyl wrap this week, should be out in the field within another week making money!

More pics to come...

Van was "0" percent financing for 5 years

damn,


why do they do that?

and if you dont mind me asking, how much for the whole package?

Cause money is so cheap for banks right now- the federal funds rate is 0.25%- and it is cheaper for them to give the illusion of big savings than to give larger rebates.

 

[Mikey P]

yeah but explain it to an idiot who thought a 72k truckmount was a good idea, why loan out money for five years for zero return?

 

[ACE]

Looks great! I think I would have gone with Ford.

How did you finance the machine?

 

[Billy]

That is going to be a Sharp Truck Mark Cograts!!!!!

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, and while you're at it, tell us what your monthly payments are and your current bank balance.

Then we'll get to the personal information ...

 

[Ken Snow]

The return is on the front end. Trucks and equipment are already built and lines of credit for the auto companies and the equipment manufacturer are costing them money. Th longer they sit unsold the more interest they pay and the more likely they will have to reduce prices. 0% financing, esp when the cost of funds is so low is smart business for them and possibly smart for the buyer- depending on what the alternative rebate is, if any. It's all math.

 

[Ken Snow]

How did you finance the machine?

There is no separate machine- it is financed as a turnkey package, likely from Ally Bank (the old GMAC) if they got 0% down.

 

[Mikey P]

a few pictures of your wife wouldn't hurt either

 

[Ken Snow]

Mikey's in rare form this morning- still partying form last night Mike, or just get an early b'day start today?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I waz going to say "and in something revealing" but then thought better of it!

I didn't want to offend Mark.


The angel won out today. :mrgreen:

 

[ACE]

It would be so nice not to play mechanic on the weekend.

I could make the payment on something like that with 0% APR over 5 year.

BUT :!: , when I factor in the insurance and tax, I’m not sure if I could swing it.

 

[Magic One]

Very nice. congrats.

 

[floorguy]

yeah but explain it to an idiot who thought a 72k truckmount was a good idea, why loan out money for five years for zero return?

because they sold the product.....end of story really...

they make more money selling it then collecting a few thousand over 5 yrs

 

[ACE]

Really? 72K? :shock:

So if my math is right, payments would be 1200.00 a month plus around $325.00 for tax and Ins.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Total Package $59,645. Payment of $521.83 a month with Ally. I actually could have financed all of it, but paid cash for the Butler unit and all the extras we are adding. The "0" percent financing I believe at the time was on the van only. Didn't actually even ask because I wanted the lower payment. The Van was $31,310 and the Butler unit was $28,335. I had shipping of $1250 to my door and sales tax and license in the State of Minnesota to the tune of $2200. All in all, I am getting a new van with 5 year and 100,000 mile warranty. A good deal and a very easy way to talk the wife into letting me do it.

Also Mikey and Richard, the wife says she is does not photo well....I told her I am sure thats not what was meant....she still said either way she doesn't photo well... She does have a good sense of humor!

In the picture, she is the one on the right. (yes I am the one on the left). We were at a Community Foundation fundraiser that we donated items to.

You are living the dream Mark.

 

[mirf]

congradulations on the new addition, looks great.

 

[Zee]

Mark, is the 5 year warranty on everything or only parts of the van? Since the van is a direct drive, how is that affecting the van manufacture warranty? Do they warranty the Butler with the van or is it a separate warranty from Butler?

Sorry guys I never dealt with direct drive types so I don't know how that works..

 

[Ken Snow]

Mark, when I have done the zero % they didbthe whole deal.

[ACE]

That’s kind of how I was thinking about financing the next setup. Paying cash for the machine and taking advantage of low or zero interest on the van. A small operation does not get the best rate on property insurance.

 

[daniel@procarpet]

You have three decked out Butlers now?

 

[tmdry]

Congrats Mark, Happy for you man!

Are you guys going to triple wand now with the 3 butlers? shiteatinggrin
