Ron Paul Revere: What a stupid, greedy biatch.

If I could figure out a way to type "this" louder I would. She's a contemptible piece of shiat and should be immolated.

While I agree with you, it also sounds like the salesperson knew full well she didn't make enough to qualify and he falsified the document. And there has to be a policy for the finance company to verify the basics. I say they all farked up and should share responsibility.

She's receiving $2500 on disability income. I can bet she lied on that application as well.

Who the heck gets $30K/ yr on disability? Why would someone on disability go to the BMW dealership to 'just look'. If you are well enough to browse at the Beemer dealer you can get your stupid arse back to work.

Christ, it was an M6! Cars like that should be sold with mandatory driving courses. That's far too much polite horsepower for the avg driver.

Plenty of people can make that much on disability. Depends largely on what they did before hand and how their disability affects them.

I get around 12K a year from the VA and Im only rated 60%.

Sorry, I didn't mean to include people who actually deserve their disability payments for some real disability, especially if it is service connected.

FTA: Auto payment defaults doubled last year and are expected to get worse. It is another financial meltdown waiting to happen similar to the crisis in the home mortgage industry, according to one consumer group

Great, now we'll have a hundred articles about how the world markets are about to crash.... again....

But, what ended up on the credit application was the amount she could be making if she was not on disability.


What. The. Fark?

Hmm... she could have lied on the sheet. The sales rep could have fudged the sheet. She could have lied and then the rep fudged the lie... hmmm...

Yeah, this one is just plain farked up.

FTA: 1.85 of the 9.6 million customers in 2006 who leased or financed a new car were subprime borrowers or consumers with weak credit.

Only 1.85 customers were subprime borrowers? That seems like hardly anything to worry about. Did the .85 customer lose his legs?

I was disabled for three months due to a anxiety disorder. My disablity benefit was $833 a week ($3332 a month) based on my $65,000 a year income. Disablity pays a lot more, considering it's money you pay yourself in SDI withholding.

That being said, she's STILL a blithering moron.

There's obviously only one way to settle this. Her and the dealer who magnified the lies she wrote on the application should fight to the death in a ring of fire.

1) Article mentions disability, but not what kind of disability.
2) Mental illness a very likely possibility.
3) Woman with delusions fills out credit form for a car she can't afford.
4) A Fark thread is made to make fun of her because noone here understands mental illness.

Nothing like ignorance and partial understanding of the facts to make for great thread fodder eh subby?

She's an idiot for investing her life savings in a car, and she should have known she couldn't make the payments. She has no right to complain now.

The people who leased her the car DID know she couldn't make the payments, and they leased it to her anyway, and THEY have no right to complain just because she's not making the payments. They knew she wouldn't, and she isn't. Seems like they're getting exactly what they were looking for.

BobtheFascist

i've been racing cars for almost 10 years (just as a hobby), and i've taken numerous different classes and race-track courses. i've also had the pleasure of driving an M6, 2007 coupe to be exact (though i could NEVER afford one), and you're pretty much on target. that thing is a beast and a half, and although it has more manners than say, a Z06 or a Viper, it's also less refined than an CLK55.

basically, while anyone could do just fine driving it around town, someone who has no idea what the limits of a car like that are could find themselves wrapped around a tree pretty easily. good thing that nearly everyone i see driving that kinda ride looks to be either too old or too young and stupid (daddy's money/drug monney?? nahhhh) to drive it to it's potential. shame.

as for the story? i'm not here to judge, so i'll just give a big Derp to everyone involved.

 
randomjsa 2008-02-11 11:46:31 PM  
Another fine example, just like the housing issue... The people who issue a loan are "predatory" and the people who buy things they can't afford are just victims.

Nonsense.

I'm going to try that to get a home loan. I could be making $1,000,000 a month, if I had a better job.

2,500 a month on disability? Is this through the government? Because if you can drive, you can work. And even if you can't work(never true unless completely paralyzed) no government should be giving that much in free money to anyone.

 
dbaggins 2008-02-11 11:48:02 PM  
She is a greedy moron (what is her disability again ???) no sympathy.


the salesman is a sleazy con. great contempt.

 
starrion 2008-02-11 11:48:12 PM  
Let me say to the other posters:

THIS!

What the freaking hell?!! She dropped her life savings and half her monthly income on a new car? 1/3 of her life savings disappeared when she rolled off the lot. This isn't merely stupid, it's stupidity of such breathtaking depth and breadth as to obscure the horizon.

WHAT THE FARK ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE ON YOU STUPID, STUPID shiat!!

When they do stories where you are supposed to feel bad for the person, they tend to leave out the important details.

So, I actually bought a new car from BMW of Fremont back in November (Don't hate me, I'm actually a pretty nice guy).

I gotta say their Sales folks (at least Cathe, who I dealt with) rocked, but the finance guys I worked with just flat out sucked.

I spent 3 f-ing hours at the goddamn dealership picking up my car because the moron doing my paperwork couldn't get it right (I had outside financing), "forgot" about my down payment, AND he kept trying to hard sell me on an extended warranty. It was bad enough that I almost walked.

/Cathe kicked ass though.
//Yes, that's how she spells her name.

I'm not going to be all that broken up if he loses his job.

 
Coital Punishment [TotalFark] 2008-02-11 11:49:51 PM  
It is called an "external locus of control". Viv does not believe that she has any control over her own life. Life just sort of happens to Viv. Her disability may be incapacitating, but if she has the ability to jaunt on down to the local BMW dealership on a lark, perhaps there is some sort of service she could provide for the rest of society. Unfortunately Viv has been taught that she can make a good enough living by collecting a check from the government without having to work for it.
She gets what she has for free and naturally wants more.
As much as the rest of us complain and moan about people like Viv, there will always be people like her out there as long as we make it profitable to be unemployed.

 
Deltoid P. Hamsterlicker 2008-02-11 11:49:54 PM  
What difference does it make what the application said her income was?

If it said she made $2500 per month or $10,000 per month, she knew she couldn't afford the $1300 payment that she's complaining about!

Is she asking us to feel sorry for her because the BMW dealer didn't stop her from being an idiot?

Also, that was a VERY poorly written article.
