      Seen Through Glass I was simply enquiring as to what ball park figure you put down and how much it is PCM? When I watched the video I assumed that that info was a given.
      For example when Chris Harris bought his 4.0 GT3 he stated to pistonheaders how much he put down and how much he paid a month - which is basically the meat on the bone!

      Fair enough he's from the Fane family, Hon Harry Fane no less, but all we can do is take his word for it that he's financing this car and going alone with this venture. Whether his family afford him the protection to follow this dream, I don't know, nor care; as long as the content is good.

  • @IndependenceCityMotoring
    @IndependenceCityMotoring Před 7 lety +158

    It's financially very silly to take out a loan on a high-priced depreciating asset (or even to purchase one for cash, with a middle-income/moderate net worth). Easiest way to lose wealth over time.
    For Sam, there's an exception because this car is generating him youtube views/revenue.

    • @henrit16
      @henrit16 Před 7 lety +10

      Well, if you have infinite amount of money, then yes, it would be financially silly. But if you wanted to buy a 200k car and you had 200k, you would be better off financing a car, and generating money off of the leftover 150k (assuming that you know how to make money, what you would if you already had 200k, or certainly more than the 4 percent or whatever the finance interest rate is). Otherwise buying cash you would be sitting on a depreciating asset and have all money tied up. My point being - it all depends on circumstances and can not be generalised. But financing a depreciating hell like new 7-series or S-class I don't get.

    • @IndependenceCityMotoring
      @IndependenceCityMotoring Před 7 lety +25

      Henri Trees My point is don't buy it in the first place. Just because you have 200k in the bank doesnt mean you can afford a 200k depreciating asset. Really you need an income of at least 600-800k/year to buy a 200k car.

    • @Joek9100

    • @homerun217
      @homerun217 Před 7 lety +19

      Say you pay cash for a $100k car that is worth $60k in 3 years; you've lost $40k in 3 years. Or you can finance it at 2-3%, put $20k down, and have cash left over to invest and make 5%+ return on. The car is still going to be worth the same amount at the end of the 3 years, but you'll have made a net gain over what you would have if you paid $100k upfront. Plus you have the benefit of the extra $80k in your pocket.

    • @gmansplit
      @gmansplit Před 7 lety +5

      +fiveomar What? Are you fucking joking when you say shit like "600-800k/year to buy a 200k car"? For a 200k car, you need to make 125k(USD) per year, and you can COMFORTABLY afford it. Unless you are one of these idiots who gets a 30-year mortgage on a 500k house when they make 125k, you can comfortably afford that car. If you get a 4-year loan with a 50k down payment, you'll still have 40k/year left after taxes. About 20k of that will go to other living expenses, and still 20k of that can go to investments (real estate for example).

  • @PatrickAndrewsMacphee
    @PatrickAndrewsMacphee Před 7 lety +58

    Sam's parents were right. Buying on credit means you end up paying more. Usually a lot more. I think we'd all appreciate knowing a) what the monthly payment actually is and b) what work he does beyond CZcams. That would allow people to have an understanding of how the sums work out and what they would have to do to join this club. I admire Sam both for admitting that it's a scary sum and for committing to the cars he loves...but we still don't have a full picture and the CZcams-makes-you-rich illusion remains.

    • @bigjay1970
      @bigjay1970 Před 7 lety +2

      Patrick Andrews it does make you very rich for some. it's a secret society in a way. there are people that make $100,000 a month easily just because you watch their video an make comments. there are youtube videos dedicated to this topic. you would be shocked how much some people make. shocked.

    • @Speednote10
      @Speednote10 Před 7 lety +2

      Chris Harris went over his numbers when he bought his Ferrari FF, the video is on youtube. I think he put a £45k deposit down and paid £1500/month. I don't think he mentioned the price of the car though but it was probably something like £150-170k.

    • @ChrisDorgan
      @ChrisDorgan Před 7 lety +2

      For the FF he would be lucky for it to have been £150k... was it new? I can't remember now. The funny thing is (especially with Ferrari) if you can get in there at any level, it's easy to move up the ladder as the cars have great residuals in comparison to other brands and then all you need is one gamble on a special edition, keep it for a while, enjoy it, love it stretch them payments out and then sell it without losing a penny or even making a profit :P

    • @Speednote10

      You're absolutely right that this video did nothing to shatter the CZcams-makes-you-rich myth. He didn't give any numbers, he didn't talk about his money or career going into CZcams, or how much he makes on CZcams and on the side currently.

  • @eSysmanSuperYachts
    @eSysmanSuperYachts Před 7 lety +12

    People who buy high value cars use finance. They put the money into a high yield account and the interest they earn on it goes into that account. They also take the monthly payment from that account. Nothing wrong with finance. I think people whom are jealous use the finance 'insult' to make themselves feel better about their own circumstances.

    I'm not used to comment on CZcams but this time I am and sorry for my English! I discovered your channel when I heard you bought my dream car: a 540C (or 570S/GT). I worked hard since years to be able to own a dream car. Now I'm looking on how to buy one in a close future. Your video helps a lot. Knowing you can have a good job and to be able to buy a supercar without being billionaire or a car youtuber, motivates me more than ever.
    You're a passionate, honest and simple person. I like every single one of your videos for those reasons. Keep going and please stay yourself. Thumbs Up! THANK YOU man.

    For anyone that thinks Shmee150 has gone and bought £1m of cars with cash are insane, He is buying very sensible low depreciation cars with very low interest loans, It wouldn’t surprise me if he is literally just paying Interest only on his McLaren.

    • @Beer_Dad1975
      @Beer_Dad1975 Před 7 lety +1

      Also he's very careful about the mileage he does in them. I think that would drive me insane having to watch the odo all the time and plan all my trips based on how much resale the car was going to have left... I pay cash for something and drive my car whenever I want, I've done 65,000km in 3 years. Sure it's not a supercar but I still love driving it, and if I lose $30K on it over the 5 years or so I'll probably keep it for, it's not going to keep me up at night worrying about it. Of course for Shmee cars are also work, so different situation entirely.

    • @Dethred1
      @Dethred1 Před 7 lety +12

      This is why you don't trust anyone replying to CZcams videos. Shmee150, before his current McLaren, had a 650S spider. If you actually follow and understand cars, and don't just follow bullshit richboy youtube channels, you'd know that the moment you drive a 650S off the lot, you've basically set USD$100,000 on fire. No Kid in their 20's with even a million subs on their shitty CZcams channel can absorb that kind of hit, and keep trading around cars (most of which are still depreciating, because they're seeing mileage). This isn't even taking into account the VAT on those car purchases, and running expenses. My point? Every single one of these kids have mommy and daddy money, regardless of the bullshit excuses morons in the comments section come up with.

    Ok Sam - how much did you put down as a deposit and how much is the monthly payment?

    • @TheJkghfg
      @TheJkghfg Před 7 lety +3

      I'm gueesing he put around a £10k deposit and then pays about £950- £1250 a month.

    • @AAA-sl3mg
      @AAA-sl3mg Před 7 lety +4

      The Jkghfg for a 140k car? No way, 30k down 3k per month i reckon

    • @TheJkghfg
      @TheJkghfg Před 7 lety +1

      Nah. 8 Months of payments would have paid this car off and the past 2 cars he's had have been for around 8 months. Also, let's not forget that this is Sam's first ever supercar. He's going to be doing things with this car and probably has other money saved. Atleast that's what I would do.

    • @3TimesFaster
      @3TimesFaster Před 7 lety +1

      In one of the comments he mentioned that Mclaren offers the 540c for 30k down and around 950~ monthly. As he's financing through an independent financing company, it's surely a little bit less than that.

    • @hakhinds
      @hakhinds Před 7 lety

      more thank that i think. about 30k down and £2k per month probably

    • @rousseau327
      @rousseau327 Před 6 lety +3

      Borrowing money/financing is not he sole reason why the financial crisis started lol. You can borrow money to stretch you budget and be good financially, or you can pay in cash in full and be struggling financially.

  • @DCassidy42
    @DCassidy42 Před 7 lety +3

    If you owe someone money for something you "own", you don't really own it. If something unforeseen happens the banks will reclaim their possessions which you are essentially borrowing and financially enslaved to until the payments are complete (plus interest). Financial wealth is made in 3 different ways, having a great career, investing money in appreciating assets and living below your means. If you don't have a great career it's difficult to invest in anything, so the only way to gain wealth is through living below your means.

    • @user-zf1ol7op7y
      @user-zf1ol7op7y Před 7 lety +2

      Thank you and here is a simple exercise. Miss one or two payments on that "financing" and you'll quickly realize who owns what. If he can't keep up the payments the bank will repossess the car and sell it to pay back the obligation.

    Difference between financing and leasing?

    • @Igreendaylinkinpark
      @Igreendaylinkinpark Před 7 lety +4

      It means taking a loan.

    • @seenthroughglass
      @seenthroughglass  Před 7 lety +50

      +James R. Astor from Austria No. Different things. Leasing is where a company buys the car and you 'rent' it from them. Financing is where you borrow some, or all, of the capital needed to buy the car

    • @00Catch00
      @00Catch00 Před 7 lety

      Which is the same, except when you're financing you're just paying more interest. It's better to lease if you own the company because it's just cheaper.

    • @MrZcase
      @MrZcase Před 7 lety +5

      John HeadBuster It's possible. He has put out 18 videos in the last month if they average 100,000 views each (they actually average more) that's 1.8 million views in a month. I've read that advertisers pay 2 to 5 dollars per 1,000 views on average. If we're modest and say he makes 3 dollars per thousand views that would give him about 5,400 dollars in the last month.

  • @lsb0119
    @lsb0119 Před 7 lety

    i always watch sam's video and just wonder how it looks so effortlessly comfortable, then i just start to pay attention to details. like at 2:52, you have this outside shot of the car, which is a great way to switch up perspective , but it's the kind of thing you don't really notice, then you think about it, he must have parked first, set up the camera, then drive back on the road to make the shot, stop the car, go back and take the camera, and all for this 1, 2 seconds of footage. I see a great commitment here, and i love it.

    • @PornobrillenAli
      @PornobrillenAli Před 7 lety

      Bei uns finanzieren sicherlich nicht 99,9% der Leute ihre Karren.
      Es sind sicherlich viele, aber bei Weitem nciht so viele wie in den USA, wo du sogar Supermarkteinkäufe in Raten zahlen kannst.

    • @3TimesFaster
      @3TimesFaster Před 7 lety

      Ca. 75-85% aller Neuwagen der Deutschen Hersteller werden als Firmenwagen verleast. Rest der Zulassungen fällt auf Private, wobei auch dort ein Großteil finanziert/least.
      Bei den Gebrauchtwagen/Neuwagen der anderen Hersteller siehts dann sicherlich etwas anders aus, aber auch da sollte eine Finanzierungsquote von >50% realistisch sein.

    • @PornobrillenAli
      @PornobrillenAli Před 7 lety

      Mit den Zahlen bin ich einverstanden.
      Allerdings ist die Finanzierungsquote in den USA im Vergleich zu uns noch wesentlich höher.
      Das ist es, was ich meine.

    I'm not big on throwing comments about unless I have something positive to say. Firstly I thank you for this insightful video about finances which you didn't have to do but you were good enough to. This subject is the 3rd thing I also think of after watching one of your videos (not only us yours Tim's, Paul's etc). I am a realistic person so always think about the behind scenes and expenses for production. Before that I admire the car then the location and quality of the video. Since you got the McLaren I have checked our Magnitude and will give them a shout on my next car. Thanks for the entertaining and educational videos!
