Re: Edmunds Members - Cars & Conversations
Now see what you went and made me do GG! 
I'm all sweaty and tired trying to keep up with your shiney fleet. And I'm out of beer!
I moved it out into the field because jMonroe gets upset when my rusted hoopties are in the picture background.

Re: Car Buying Advice - Serious Car Buying Advice Needed (Long Post)
Nobody here is likely to be able to help you.
I did read your entire post and I honestly believe that whatever you finally settle on will be a short term event and once the novelty wears off it'll be down the road just like all the others.
This is a VERY expensive folly you are wrapped up in!

Re: 2018 S5 lease
Looking at factory ordering an '18 S5 Prestige fully loaded with an MSRP of $67,575 for lease.
I am a ACNA member due to receive 6% off MSRP
My dealer is quoting me a MF of 00.232 and a residual of 60% on a 42 month lease @ 10k/yr.
I have decided a 36/7500 lease would be more competitive...so my question is:
What should the MF and residual be on this car, I'm in California if that matters...thanks,John
I forgot to mention this is a coupe....00172 and 62% for 36/7.5
.00192 and 57% for 42/10
MF is marked up for extra profit

Re: Worth it to buy 10+ year old used Volvo?
Consider a subaru too. Legacy or outback, and a forester is nice and boxy (dog friendly). Living in NYC, cars are so expensive (parking, insurance) it seems for such limited use, you should just rent an SUV when you need it.
As to Volvo wagons, they would serve your purpose. Good solid cars, but not low maintenance. Hard to say how any car would react to that low use and so much sitting. The V50 would be too small I think, so you would look at the V70. Stay away from the all wheel drive model, and probably better off with the 2.4i (non turbo) engine. Not as fast, but simpler.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars & Conversations
There are some really smart people who post in here. Not sure I can keep up with the minimum requirements to keep posting.Sounds like a dead end job!
Mike, Crag, Bean and the rest of you, great observations.
So, chalk this up to "I had no idea"!
Compensation for cemetery sales (at least the one my acquaintance works at) has several components....
1. Upsell the family who has an immediate need. Meaning, upsell to a more expensive Casket, burial vault, more elaborate viewing and final service, etc (apparently you can shop around for the best price on a coffin)
2. Selling "pre need" packages count more than immediate need. Selling the family more plots during the interment of their loved one, counts more....with a higher commission rate.
3. Bigger, better grave markers count more, with a higher commission rate.
I was informed of others, but I stopped the compensation explanation because frankly, it was not all that interesting to me.
Anyway, his quota is $25K the first month of the qtr, $28K the 2nd and $30K the 3rd month of the qtr. Acclerators hit after you make your quota for the month.
I know having services for my parents were at least $10K, and I think more for my Mother has she passed away about 7 years after my Father. I didn't buy the most expensive casket, nor the cheapest, either...it was probably a little on the higher end of the price scale, though.
So, aside from only having families who only wanted to put their loved ones in a box, with no service, it really doesn't sound that difficult to sell $30K/mo. In order to make any real money, assuming a 10% commission (straight commission), you'd have to go over quota, hit accelerators, and sell the higher margin products and services.
More than any of us needed to know about cemetery sales.
