I'm receiving another company vehicle and stuck between two.
The problem is that we are a public company so shareholders must be concidered, along with potential investors. The latter require fairly large passenger room comfort but we can't look like we are spending money like drunk sailors. Since we are a "merchant" bank our diverse projects include mining properties in Washington State, 600 acres of offroad touring investers around making 4X4 a must.
One of my personal vehicles is a Lincoln Navigator. I was at the dealer for oil change and they have a big sale.
Deal one: 2004: Lincoln Aviator fully loaded. Since I'm a "loyal" customer they will sell any vehicle at dealer invoice to me, plus I get extra cash back. Since I had an Excursion financed via Ford credit and owning a Navigator I can combine "cash" back offer's that I have for owning those. This will bring down the price to around $32,900 includeing tax.
Deal two: Yukon XL Denali, also fully loaded. I used my cash back incentives with Ford as a bargaining chip. So with their offer I can get it for tad over $43,000 with zero money down.
The "dilemma" is both vehicles are nice, but wich has less shock value when you pull up to the annual meeting or pick up a potential investor at the airport? With zero percent financing the monthly payments on either will be affordable. What should I buy? Real bad dilemma to have, aint it? :)
