How would you buy a 992? Cash, finance, lease?

I'm aware that in the past, you would have to make that deal. But the dealer isn't getting their kickback when a buyer pays off the loan in two months. @bayareanady on IG discussed this in his stories last month. The SA would get their cut, but it would completely screw the dealership.
My response was simply because it seemed like an odd flex, to finance 40% of a car for two months, and then say I pay it off because you can't stand paying interest on a depreciating asset. As if it's some newfound thing that cars depreciate.

Almost like a way of life here.

Both cash on hand and financing are bad. It’s better to find a new source to pay for the car.
Mine is my couch. I’m looking for lost quarters to pay for the car. They were lost anyway, so no real financial impact. So far, I’m up to 7. I might have to cut back on options.

Humblest apologies if I didn't meet your standards for whatever it is. If you want the down and dirty I had a CD that popped and 'came due' at the 2 month mark after ownership that I had originally earmarked for the 911 ownership account after saving for it over lots of years. Couple that with I actually got a tiny bit (read $750) off MSRP if I financed the car through the dealer. It was a wash after the 2 months. That's my story. I forced myself to do that for my own reasons. Like I said in my original post "albeit flawed or not..."
It wasn't a flex, it was merely trying to tell the OP what I did, nothing more. It wasn't a weird flex either, although I'm flattered you think that was a flex. I have nothing to prove here, nor anywhere else be it in real life or behind the screen on the internet. I'm just here to help those that ask, share experiences and reasons based on individual experiences. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ingenious job for those who thought it was a flex. I wish I could think more positively like y'all and maybe I would have just written the rich check for the entire purchase price.
If you're referring to me, I never said I was rich and don't think nor qualify myself as being so.

High net worth means different things to different people it is all relative. To some a million or two would be high net worth to others it would be tens of millions.

Correct, in this day and age a couple of million maybe considered pocket change to some people but to the majority of people it is more money than they will see in a lifetime. Some people that have 20 -30 million probably consider themselves high net worth and relatively speaking they are but to someone that has hundreds of millions or even billions the person with 20-30 million is a pauper. At the end of the day I don't give a damn how much the next guy has because there is always some out there that has more. Just be happy with what you have.
