  • Low lease rate, high residual values ?

    Somehow I didn’t want a topic “hijacking” for this post. I’ve been looking for a new car for a long time. In focus, S5, RS5, S4 Avant, BMW 335i, M3 Coupé, etc… Well… theoretically I can pay the cash. Practically you should calculate the financing. I like to save, with a reason why I can also afford the above car (just the waged background). Well, but I don’t get an invoice. Audi has a “super” now. Rtolle” 2.8% Leasing action. But if I calculate this (with the official computer) for a RS5, then my hair is too high. RS5 Coupé, net 118’850CHF, financial contribution 15’000, 24 months, 15’000km => 2650/Mt. If I calculate this on the 24Mt, then this comes to 87’000CHF, so I pay for 2 years RS5 drive 87kCHF. (Calculation does not look much different for 36Mt) If I take the rate calculation to help, and calculate with above key figures, I come to a kk Alculatory residual value of the RS5 (Fix given by AMAG) of almost 59’200CHF Heisst: For AMAG, a 2 year old RS5 with 30tkm still has a book value of 60kCHF ? What I mean by that, actually it is in this case yes HansWieWurst how deep the leasing rate is, as long as the respective lessors can define themselves a “fantasy residual value” (which one does not see at first sight and is also variable). So simply lower the (visible) interest rate and in the background the res And: How does that work then? I would pay additional tax costs, or would I get something refunded? Somehow the whole leasing extrem suspect is for me. Do I miscalculate, or is it simply pulled over the table? Would be glad to inform you. As I calculate this, the lessor gets 87kCHF from me, can then sell the car for the 80k (see, 80k not the 60k book value of which they in the leasing council e) and earn so 160k of a car net 118k is ? Do I see what not ? Do I have somewhere a thought error ? Is that the same with all brands ? Or is there (depending on the manufacturer) also differences concerning “realistic residual value ” ? PS: If one assumes a realistic residual value of 80kCHF for a 24Mt old RS5 with 30tkm, the leasing rate would have to be 1860CHF ….

  • Alternative to selling used cars yourself?

    Hello dear readers. As already written above I am looking for an alternative to the private sale of my car. Currently the used ones are rather avoided if it is not just a year car. Now I don’t know how to get my car away. I have to buy a new used one from private but have to get mine away for that first. Since I’m moderately tensed I am looking for an alternative to the stressful private sale. Has already tried to sell his car to the V isitenkarten Autohändler zu verkaufen ? Maybe someone has the same problem and can give me a good tip. mfg, Christian

  • Buyer paid for car and took it with him, but no signed purchase contract

    Hello guys, yesterday a 20 year old car “sold” for 300€. Here I put it in mobile.de, and after 1min. a foreign buyer called. He knocked after a few dates he wanted to know about me. Then he said that I had received a purchase confirmation by email, which I should answer. So I confirmed this by email and took out the ad. Nnoch on the same day his colleague with the tow truck was there from a county about 150km away. Of course P The guy then telephoned with an Arabic accent a few times with his cell phone and looked under the bonnet a few times, then suspected all possible non-existent damage and phoned around again. A long time later he then pressed the money into my hand and loaded the car. I unscrewed the license plates and kept the car letter to register the car myself. I should then simply send the papers back to me. He didn’t want to have a TÜV and AU report. I just wanted to conclude a purchase contract, when the guy suddenly asked me about the old letter. I affirmed this and went into the house to get him. I didn’t find him right away, but I didn’t come back after about 5min. In the meantime the guy and my car had disappeared. Now it seems funny and a little murky: car away, (real) cash, still all the papers and license plates. in my possession, but no terrible thing, that the car has been in the hands of the guy since yesterday. Do I have to worry about that???

  • Harmful wax in the car wash for convertible roof?

    Hello all on the other hand yesterday I had a dispute regarding convertible fabric roof and car wash systems. One said: can you drive quietly into the washing machine, but always without wax, because the wax harms the fabric roof. The other said: car wash system without wax does not work at all, because they always put wax in when washing, otherwise they do not get the car dry at all. AND: The wax does not harm (maybe it is also little useful and certainly no substitute for impregnation). Your opinion? Greetings from Frankfurt Jürgen

  • GSF 600 S from 2004 – Umfaller on left side – Blinker broken what to do?

    Hello guys, unfortunately my Möppi fell over to the left side last week. Both turn signals and the clutch lever broke. I changed the clutch lever successfully, however, I have my difficulties with the turn signals. I got mini turn signals and the corresponding covers from one of the three big dealers, which is located in my place of residence. However, the latter do not fit, although this is on the packaging. Furthermore, I have my attempts, the V to remove clothing found that they were not only fixed with screws but also with plastic plugs (klips) and that some disguise clips were missing, even in places that were not affected by falling over (e.g. back right). I then interrupted the attempts to disassemble and assemble the turn signals. Didn’t want to destroy the existing clip. Now to my questions: Can you remove the clip without any interference? If no, you can remove them at the dealer o who buy from one of the three big ones? If it is not possible, did you fix the panel completely with screws? If you have provided your motorcycles with other (not original) indicators, how did you establish the connection between the Bordelectrik and the turn signals? I haven’t had the motorcycle for long and not much screwdriver experience yet. Thanks already for the help. Markus

  • Bandit 600 Bj. 99 does not start

    Hello, it’s about my possible future baby. Brief history: MOtorrad went out again and again during the ride. In the workshop it was called tank full of rust and carburettor accordingly. Have let the tank rust and let the carburettor clean. After that it ran about 1 month. Now current status: motorcycle doesn’t even start any more. Complete battery charge consumed. of course I looked a little for what it might be. -Zündkerzen are dry -from all 4 swims I have a few questions now, since I don’t know about carburettor engines (always only had injections) 1. What could this be that the gasoline from the one carburettor is black? 2. If I put the gas tap on ON, and leave the drain screw of the float chamber open, the fuel would flow right through and down again. Can it be that the tank or possibly the petrol tap has not been cleaned properly and yet has led to the residual of rust or other contamination that the carburetors could be clogged? Sorry for the perhaps ridiculous sounding questions on my part, but I know myself with the matter (gassing) NULL from Thank you for your help and understanding. MfG David

  • May a swinger hang freely during transport

    Hello, do spring legs have such a stable stop that you can let the rear wheel hang freely during the trailer transport? Background: I plan a very short unbraked trailer, similar to the short hangers, which are offered especially for WoMos. The loading area is only about 70cm long. Can a motorcycle, in my case the 125 VanVan, with clamped front wheel and under the engine be mounted and freely hanging rear wheel long distances be transported, or do not make the spring legs with. The jacking is only intended for parking without the vibrations/slips during transport with a hard-springed trailer. Greetings Thorsten

  • The Thought Experiment, Fathers and Motorcycle

    I made my motorcycle driver’s license quite late. I have experienced and seen many accidents during these 2 years. I was really scared about the largely too fast driving style of my acquaintances, that I come to ponder now. My children are now only about 1 and 3 years old and I want to stay with you for a long time. I am also currently extremely important the development of my children and I want to absorb every free moment together with you. For me personally, the fun with the family is in the foreground, I have a bad conscience against my children on every tour. Accordingly, my motorcycle is currently more than it is moved. It is not good for working in the city either, because it is more like a 125 scooter. In my case, reason and passion collide with each other mentally. I am mentally quite torn back and forth here, whether it makes sense his hobby in d It’s time to let it rest and start again when it suits better. As so often I’m interested in experiences from similar situations. I’m going to put the Suzuki back in their garage soon, but I won’t sell it for the time being. Thank you for your attention.

  • Michelin Pilot Activ ?

    Tach too.. Since the tyres of my XJ finally have to be new (especially on the outer edges they are down..) I am looking smartly and have so far gucked into above-mentioned Pneus. Usually more Bridgestone BT 45 is recommended but I read a lot about it, whose quality would have become worse. In addition, this is a development that exists since the end of the 80s… My driving requirement demands Allrounder because the motorcycle is driven as long as there is no ice and snow. with the pilots and which ones?
