Ya, we collect sales tax based on where the car will be registered. If you are out of state and paying cash no lien then we just have you sign an out of state tax affidavit which states the car will be leaving the state within 10 days and taxes will be payed to the home state.
Ok, GP. Repeat after me: 1+1=2, 2+2=4, 4+4=8. Now some multiplication: 1x1= 1 2x2=4, 4x4=16 Now some binary math 1+1=0 0+1=1, 0+0=0 Any questions? :shades:
Just in case you need the circumference of your tires in base 8 here are the first few digits of π: 3.980456933354547594437410241132... :P
** EDIT ** The above number is WRONG! Obviously, the site I got it from has a very buggy program. The error should have jumped right out at me. Do you see it?
Well, computers speak in binary, and they are fluent in hexadecimal and other bizarre numerical languages. They are adept at translating some serious gobbledegook into plain language that we sometimes understand, excluding complicated lease arrangements of course. So that's the internet way.
Customers and salespersons typically talk in terms of lowest possible price and payments, and highest possible doc fees and gross with a smattering of horse power and torque. Usually nothing more advanced than simple arithmatic, excluding complicated lease arrangements of course. So that's the traditional way.
No, it's not. Look up binary numbers and just use 3 or 4 digits if you like. 011 is decimal 3, so using this number let's add three and two binary and see what comes up. 1 011 + 010 -------- 101= decimal 5, we added 1+1 = 0 and carried the 1.
Next lesson later today when we will go into hexadecimal.\ :P
Joel, tidester does numbers and I do words, so there really is no escape from our evil education plans (not to mention those of richard64).

Well, I think you missed the point of my post, which was if you "carry" the one it gets deposited somewhere it does not just disappear. Hence binary 1+1 = 10 (not 0) and decimal 5 + 5 = 10 (not 0).

You can't have an 8 either!! Base 8 has 8 digits, 0-7. 10 would represent the decimal number 8, of course.

Here the sales tax goes right in the crapper along with all the other money they rip us for. :mad: I wanted to spit when I saw that NYS was charging me almost 2K for the privilege of buying a car. Where is Ron Paul when you need him?

when i buy my next vehicle, i think i'm going to get an internet quote and then go to a dealership and tell the sales person i won't pay over pay '11110100' (binary) a month.

The problem is, they didn't realize that a $10 payment bump over a 5-year loan nets an extra $1k in profit for the dealership.
Now, I'm not mathematician, but just how does $10 x 60 payments = $1k???

$10 Bump in a monthly payment to means equals $500...

GP, 60x10 = _________
-moo
Just messing with ya, GP!
-moo
.....
GP, 60x10 = _________
Your killing me today :P
You know what I mean. The rest of it goes to interest. On average if i bump someone $10 I get $500 more in gross. The 100 goes to interest.
It is a good thing I have you guys to keep me in line. :shades:
GP
I thought so...
Like I said I am lucky to have you guys around.

I guess it could be just an error in the article. Or the author still understands so little.

Now some multiplication: 1x1= 1 2x2=4, 4x4=16
Now some binary math 1+1=0 0+1=1, 0+0=0
Any questions?

Let's do it this way .. express numbers as 4 digits.
So, in our normal decimal system, the number two is 0002.
In binary, it would be 0010
Right most position = 1
Next character to the left = 2
Next character to the left = 4
Next character to the left = 8
So, the number 6 is represented as 0110 (0x8 + 1x4 + 1x2 + 0x1).
Let's not even get into octal and hex code .... :sick:

You can just never tell where things are going to go around here.
Not that it's a bad thing.
-moo
That is like saying 5+5 = 0. It doesn't.
Customers and salespersons typically talk in terms of lowest possible price and payments, and highest possible doc fees and gross with a smattering of horse power and torque. Usually nothing more advanced than simple arithmatic, excluding complicated lease arrangements of course. So that's the traditional way.
So, it kinda fits.
Let's not even get into octal and hex code ....
Can you do a lease calculation for me now

I was thinking the same thing. :shades:

But, the 9 came first in that string of numbers (you can look it up), so I still say I deserve a Gold Star!!
Besides.. none of you MIT graduates came up with an answer... someone had to step in...
Also... if GP ever gets the F&I job, I know where I'm buying my next car.. I might come out far enough ahead to take a European vacation!
