      Manufacturers know Americans love to keep up with the Joneses and they will get deep to their eyeballs in debt to keep up appearances even though they can't afford it. A guy and his wife move into a neighborhood where everyone has either a BMW, Benz, Audi, Porsche et al in their driveway and they swap them out every three years, meanwhile he's driving an eight year old Camry. It's a matter of when, not if, till they raid their kid's college fund, 401K or savings to splurge for that swanky Volvo.

    I can’t see the argument against car subscriptions if you don’t need a car full time, year round. I live in a big metropolitan city and if were to buy a car in cash, it would sit in the driveway 40% of the year collecting dust and depreciating anyway.

    Truly dissappointed in this rant. This is a perfect example of Dave getting too big for his britches. This service would make perfect sense for someone who lives in an urban setting who doesn’t NEED to own a car and can’t afford the parking of said vehicle in the city where parking can cost almost as much as rent...why would ANY buy a car and own a car in such a setting??? But during the summer they want to venture out and take road trips so they’d sing up for a subscription for two months and call it day...this make perfect sense in this scenario. Now Dave just cause you don’t understand it, doesn’t mean it’s not a good thing...

While this subscription idea is bad for people who are building their wealth in the early stages of life, I agree this plan would work great when I retire and have disposable income and I have a decade or two left on this planet and I want to try a different fancy car every few months.

    The subscription model makes sense if you stay in another town for an extended period of town, for example we have doctors/nurses from out of town or even from abroad who rent a house via Airbnb or Homeaway and stay for a few months to work at the various rural hospitals here in Northern California, although typically those expenses are covered by the hospital or recruitment agency

  • @dimondghost
    @dimondghost Před 6 lety +8

    Whole point of subscription is when you need car 1-2 months in a year. You only pay for the months when you use the cars. No different than car sharing services out there right now when you pay by the hour of the car usage. It is a financial suicide to use a car from car subscription all the time. Personally I own my car outright and would not have it any other way for now.

    • @jaketyler7088

      I think Dave missed the point of the subscription, at least as the article described it. If you live and work in NYC for 10 months with no vehicle, and then you need a vehicle for 2 months for work-related travel, what are your options? As far as I know, this is the cheapest option.

I’ll save money annually if I use a subscription over buying/leasing. Also I’m willing to pay extra for the less commitment.

  • @tonysteele3805

    Volvo Care is still a lease with a traditional buyout and residual. You must qualify. I have it and I love it. The only complaint I have is that it is very rare and there are almost no cars. They appear to be using the program as a loss leader as my payments (which include insurance) plus residual add up to well under MSRP. I'll be on this program as long as they allow me. Paying cash up front for a used car as Dave recommends is probably one of the absolute dumbest things you can possibly do. I've done both. The potential for disaster with a cash used car is insane. And you're still driving a POS.

  • @davidshin08
    @davidshin08 Před 5 lety +1

    Interesting video. As a dealer, I do agree from both aspects. 1. that people need full disclosure when buying or leasing a car. 2. that people still have little to no idea how leases actually work. 3. that dealers are trying in many ways to adapt to new technologies that drives business.
    1. Transparency and full disclosures are fundamental part of any franchise new car dealer. Manufacturers, franchise owners, state DMV are responsible for delivering the message to the dealers. If the dealer does not participate in compliance they will eventually remove the management in charge or even lose the franchise agreement. Lots have changed over the decade and dealers are creating better ways to show a better light and experience to the consumer. Franchise dealers create jobs and employ hundreds and thousands of employees each year. Losing dealers will only hurt the economy.
    2. Leasing is still new to most people. With an industry average of under 40% of consumers leasing cars. Most consumers have never leased or understood the benefits of doing it. In other words, if you had a bad experience leasing a car you probably leased the wrong car or never understood how it actually works. Difference between leasing and subscription based is simple. When you lease a car, the bank you leased it from depreciates the car and you just pay a rent factor for the term that fits your needs. At the end of the lease you have an option to return the lease or buy it out for the residual amount which the bank sets when it was new. Subscription based car “renting” is making a daily, weekly, monthly payment for a qualified car as you go, but without a residual value to purchase. You will be assisting the company in depreciating their own car which they will end up selling back to you for a healthy profit. Here is a tip, lease cars that have high resale value. Expect the residual value to be high if your payment is very low for an expensive or luxury car. That means your stuck returning the car at the end of the lease. If your ok with it financially, then leasing a brand new car for 2 to 3 years is not all that bad. I say this, finance cars that are under 20k with special finance terms and lease anything over that amount. Be wise on the make and model because it does matter!
    3. The truth is walk in traffic is down industry wide year over year and dealers have been investing in new technologies to get customers attention. A few major franchise owners have partnered with companies like True Car, Shift and Fair to supply new and pre-owned cars on demand for consumers. The digital space is far greater now then a decade ago. With social media advertising NEW this and that , it’s easier for manufacturers and dealers to promote their business based on the individual consumers interests. For instance if you search for luxury shoes on a social media site than it will use an algorithm to show you ads of luxury shoes stores near you or videos of upcoming shoes that you can preorder. It is faster and easier for consumers to shop and transact online, the dealers want to be in that space, it’s that simple.
    I have mix feelings about these new companies. They understand that the automotive retail space is a profit center and I agree that they want a piece of the pie and I cannot deny that consumers want a new way of doing things with little to no effort at all. What I don’t understand about this application is that it suppose to help dealers? How is it helping if they advertise to avoid dealerships as a whole. How is it helping if they own the dealers customer retention business? How is it helping your children if your a parent trying to teach them the value of credit building and personal ownership?If we keep feeding the beast and allow companies like Fair to buy from weak non process driven dealers to rent to uneducated customers. We are on the right path to economic and social breakdown. This bothers me.

    My 82 year old mother has a subscription to a car service - the lot is two blocks from her house. She pays a monthly fee, plus an hourly rate when she takes a car out. Since she only takes a few trips a week it's far cheaper than buying or leasing a car, the car is always gassed and serviced - works great for her.

      I think you're talking about a different business, like a Zip Car. Those are hourly rentals, whereas these are monthly. The difference is that she's going to pay $30-50 to use a car for a day, but some idiot's going to rent a BMW for $2000 - $3,700 per month. It's an entirely different market and makes much less sense than what your mother does.

    A $20,000 car loan at 9% interest rate over 5-years would be around $31, 000.The average insurance cost in Florida is $316 per month. Over a 5-year loan that will come close to $19,000 just for insurance. Then add another $6, 000 over the life of the car for repairs, oil change, tire change, brake changes etc. That is $25,000 dollars on top of the $31,000 car loan. You are paying $56,000 for a $20,000 car. And the car loses 80% of its value. Rental car subscription sounds like an amazing idea!!!

A cheap car with variable insurance, maintenance, and storage (in big cities) will have annual running costs lower than a two-month subscription, but taking into account the purchase price, the break even point is about seven years. Due to the nature of people who would use this subscription service for ONLY two months of work travel, I doubt they will be in the same/similar job in seven years. I like this subscription idea, but it's a very niche market for people who would actually financially benefit from it.

    If it's a subscription can you just sign up for one month to drive whatever car you want from the dealership for a full month? It sounds like it's like renting but with options. If that's the case, it would sound like the perfect thing to do when you travel for a long period. What if I went down to Florida for a month and decide to pay $600 to use a brand new Volvo XC90 for an entire month and then cancel?

      You'd have rented a car and paid money for it. Trust me that you're not gonna outsmart the automotive industry financially.
      Rentals are often rented out for one or two days. The overhead cost of switching cars all the time is priced into the rental price. I'd imagine that these subscription things are slightly cheaper per day because the company doesn't expect to have to swap them around every couple of days, bringing the price a bit closer to what you'd normally pay for a lease. At the end of the day you're using a product that the company has decided will make them money.

      You don't buy a car on payments.
      Period.
      You buy whatever you can pay cash for and then make "payments" to yourself until you can buy the car you want...
      With cash.
      Then you get the interest from that cash you've been paying to yourself and don't pay someone else for the privilege of spending money you haven't earned yet.
      Also, the car you bought with cash first will be a lovely extra bonus when you sell it to someone else after you've bought your new car. Because if you sell it to an end user, you will make more on it than if you sell it to a middleman dealer. That's how you move up in cars.

      I've got a 4 year old car right now. When I bought it new, my plan was to have it for at least 10 years. (probably 12-15 with adequate maintenance) I'm paid a little bit in routine maintenance this year, but just for new tires, brakes, and things that wear down with time. It'll need more scheduled maintenance (at least moderately expensive stuff) in about 4 more years. I should have about 6-7 years without payments this time around, and my next car will definitely be bought with cash. (1-2 years old, to avoid the deep cut of depreciation).
      I love having a 'new' car and have owned a couple, but I hate being in some kind of payment situation with them. It's bad enough that I have to pay excise taxes and insurance, but also another $300-400 per month is BS. I'm working on the baby steps so by this time next decade I can buy any car I want in cash. :-D

In this instance it's not an asset, its a service. I mean look at the revolution that is cloud infrastructure.

      okay, if you have to take a 3 months or more subscription that, yes Dave is correct, but if you can take one month at a time (no bs hidden fees for stopping subscription) then it could be good for the consumer but only if its cheaper than owning a car for 6 months of the year (excluding gas) and also if the price makes sense for example 400$ or less a month in canada makes sense (its about 100$ for insurance) it would not be bad for say if your a student and need a car for the summer (working months) except for that its pretty niche

      Yes. It's basically a long-term rental for people who only need a vehicle for a couple months every year. It's cheaper than buying and cheaper than renting with a short-term rental company like Hertz, or private car-sharing apps like Turo. If you need a vehicle for more than a few months every year, it would likely be cheaper to buy. However, the subscription has a mobility component, so if you fly across the country for three months you don't have to drive your vehicle there.
