Do they even make money on these? You damn well know they're just gonna get the down-payment then have to track it down and pay for a repo. Maybe the owner just repos then himself so he's just renting out cars for a month at a time basically?

Probably, Milsurp is still fairly okay in terms of pricing. Like a $250k Humvee can be bought for $50k from a broker, even less at a government auction.

People who finance at BHPH lots basically never make it past the first payment, so the dealers have to make enough to:

If you're not ghetto trash, the vast majority of BHPH lots will be just as reasonable as any major dealership in terms of sticker prices and interest rates

I've owned several of my dream cars and currently own one, because I rotate through them as a hobby. Acquire, enjoy, and when the thrill is gone, sell.

I'll throw out some wisdom here that will likely fall on deaf ears, but here goes: after its all said and done, it's just another thing you have to take care of. It adds a layer of worry and expense to your life that may or may not be worth it. The thrill of owning fades quickly with familiarity.

This might sound crazy, but if you have the ability, rent exotics instead of buying them. Yes, there is a cost, but there is no worry and you get to experience a lot more cars that way.

Since I've had the experience of both owning and renting exotic weekend cars, I can tell you with confidence that when you figure in all the costs of owning vs the expenses of renting, it's almost even. Better to rent the McLaren for a weekend or two a month than have to have to worry how much that brake squeak or light that just popped up on the dash is going to cost this time.

Now the hack is to buy something cheap yet exotic. Something rare yet cheapish that normies love is a smart way to get all the fun of exotic car ownership without the expense. Anything with doors that go up (aside from the Tesla X) is a hit. Mid rear or rear engine, like the Fiat X19 or Baja Bug, people love clean examples. I know the Fiat has a rep, but I always wondered why enthusiasts didn't just put the time in to sort those out and enjoy. Fuck, do a Lancia Stratos conversion on one. Cheap exotic that will be a hit with everyone. Get a faded unloved fried egg 911 and polish it up, clean presentation counts for a LOT with people.
Some of the cars I've loved the most were kind of boring things. I had an old IROC Camaro that was my first project. I made that fucker look new again by learning how to polish and detail myself, put all new light housings on it, lowered it with a better suspension and overall made it look sharp as a tack.

Anyway, iykyk

Owning an exotic is like marrying the hot girl. Sure, it's exciting and fun at first, but after a while you realize she's a high maintenance pain in the ass that you have to keep an eye on all the time

Renting exotics is like fucking escorts.

This. If you intend to actually drive an exotic or supercar for more than 500 miles per year, then it'll depreciate just like any other car (except way harder because 30% of a million bucks is WAY more than 30% of 20-40k)
>buy something cheap but exotic
Only makes sense from a clout chasing perspective. In the sports car realm, cars that are cheap and common are either poverty rental-spec copemobiles or really damn good vehicles that you're guaranteed to have fun with.

I've made some posts in similar spirit - I've had an evo for 11 years, love it, but I question if I am inconveniencing myself to own it.

My main challenge isn't the lack of thrill, but the difficulty in taking enjoyment of motoring in general. Roads are so full of traffic, hazards, and police where I live.

Motorcycling is cheaper and more fun, but higher safety risk. I am a married, working father, so I am not able to simply dedicate one day per month to get out of the city and drive

I find myself very happy in my wife's brand new rav4 doing the speed limit.

I wish I could sit in my evo revving out the gears and smashing through sweepers, but it just doesn't happen. Even on the motorbike.

I feel like the ultimate fun is something like drifting a rwd shitbox on private property

At first I thought same. Then I was thinking more. The ones who are smart enough will never take this deal. The ones who are stupid enough to take it will never pay it off. They will pay 1 or 2 months, trash the car, maybe even wreck it. So they are pricing in all these.

Yes - but it's about $400 a pop just to get in.
I've done it, it's fun, but driving on a track is very different to driving a flowing road.

Track driving you're always on the brakes and understeering, if you get what I mean. It's like stop/go compared to just driving through a pass at 80% traction limit (ie not too risky on corners, just enjoying them)
