I'll type this very slowly and use small words. I might have saved two or three thousand if I had bought off a lot. The lease is written so I could have paid it off at any time. So after I knew I was running successfully I could have just bought the truck if they pulled my contract. Therefore I had no real risk at all. Sammons took all the risk and I paid an extra $2000 on a $60,000 truck to have no risk. That's 3% not 300% for those of you mathematically challenged

We can debate this all day til the millennium ends & it still won't justify to me paying that much for a truck
-
There is nothing to debate, you assert three times the value and I'm telling you that your wrong, I have the experience and you have none. You are wrong and can't accept it.

While I'm no fan of lease purchase, the deal at sammons is the best there is when it comes to lp.
DrFlush Thanks this. -
MOGLAR Thanks this.

What part of I didn't pay three times the value of my truck do you not understand, have you no reading comprehension at all?
spyder7723 Thanks this. -
I comprehend just fine, I just find it very hard to believe that a company is gonna sell a truck thru l/p & not mark it up to make money
-
Now I'm not advocating for them, I'm just saying as far as lease purchase goes, their program isn't the scam that every other one is. I'd put them on par with lone mountain. A way to get a truck with less than stellar credit.DrFlush Thanks this. -
Thanks to the people that realize you should not lump all LP programs in one basket. If you are willing and able to work this program it is a good one. By able I am saying you have to do the math and plan ahead as much as you can, keep a good working relationship with others and maintain your own mental attitude because during the long driving hours everybody can develop a negative attitude and attitude is everything.
I have seen the people at Sammons run people off and give out titles to trucks, it is up to the individual and that is what can be said about all long term relationships because buying a truck is a long term thing.
I do not think I am an owner operator yet, when I have the title then I will be one, until then I am just another working slob like everybody else out here.
Moglar thank you for your service but now for the military humor, with enough repentance Jesus will forgive you for going Army.fargonaz Thanks this. -
