FunTranscript
00:00All right, Detroit, it's always fun when we catch them in the hall because they bring coffee and
00:04stuff and all, but we have a ball when we have them in here. A.B. Motor! Good morning, good morning, good morning.
00:12Come to see Kyle, good morning. Yes, we're here live. Period. Okay, man, how do you, listen, I just want to know one thing.
00:19How do you guys have so much energy so early in the morning? It's called coffee.
00:25Made by the free machine. Hey, good friends from A.B. Motor City. It was not your first rodeo. That's right. You've been doing this for a minute.
00:34Speaking of doing it for a while, Jimmy and Kyle, we were just talking about all the great advantages of summer.
00:41You can X that off the calendar now. Here comes fall. Back to school. Yep, and prices are falling in the car business.
00:48Interest rates are coming down a little bit. They're cutting some rates here, so if you're in the market,
00:52now it's the time because prices are falling. Detroit News here last week or two, they had an article in there about how prices were falling.
00:59It's a great time to buy a car because we're chopping prices. We're moving inventory. We have a lot of it.
01:05So if you're in the market right now, it's the time to come and see us at A.B. Motors.
01:08That's what people wanted to hear. Yep. Right now. Right now.
01:12And I'll tell you another thing. Every week, Jimmy does this thing on the Facebook page, on the A.B. Motors Facebook page.
01:20We give prices and payments on special cars that we have in stock right now today.
01:26So if you want to know, if you want to get an idea of what kind of car you can get, what kind of payment you can get,
01:32you can go to our Facebook page. You can check that out.
01:34It's called Cousin Jimmy's Deal of the Week. We do it once a week. We have some really great cars on there.
01:41We have a lot of inventory to go through, too. I mean, you can go to our webpage, abmotors.biz.
01:46You can check out all our inventory and see over 20 pictures of each vehicle, and you can get approved right there, too.
01:52Jimmy, I'd like to talk to you about this because people always have this great idea about starting a business.
01:57You've got commercial vehicles that we can use to make that business happen.
02:03For sure. I got box trucks. I got Kinos. I got Chevy Expresses, Ford E250s, Transits, Dodge Promaster.
02:12So if you're looking to start your business or you want to trade them vehicles in, they might be old now.
02:17You know, you don't want to pull up someone's house and it's all rusting out and it's leaking oil.
02:21I thought about that. I thought it was a nice sign on the side, but I'm like just kind of old.
02:26Are you really that good at this?
02:27Right. I mean, you should be upgraded, right? I mean, leaking oil in your driveway.
02:30I'm like, I don't need this guy here working on my house.
02:32I can't fix this old car. How are you going to fix my house?
02:35And we have financing available for that, too.
02:37So it's great. If you need to start your business, we can help you.
02:41We have financing available. We have commercial vehicles available. Come out and see us.
02:46Angie?
02:46Angie? Um, someone said to me now, you know, they're out car shopping and they're finding out that it's cheaper to lease a car than to actually buy a car.
02:57How do you guys know about that?
02:59Well, I mean, my opinion always on leasing a car, unless you're not going far, you're going to keep it and your payment's very cheap.
03:06It means like you might as well go to Enterprise.
03:09You're renting a car. You're giving them all that money. Now you get done with that car, right?
03:13Now you might be over miles. You've got to come up with money.
03:15You might have some scratches. They're going to get you for that. You might need tires.
03:19So the time you're said and done, you might have spent $9,000, $10,000, $12,000, $15,000 plus in three years.
03:26And now you're giving that car back and you've got nothing.
03:28That's smart. You know what I mean?
03:30Now if you bought the car, you made that payment to the finance company, you can go sell that car.
03:36You can sell that car in a year or two years.
03:37If you've got a three-year lease, you're pretty much stuck in it unless you're coming with some money.
03:40So leasing's not for everybody.
03:42And they won't lease it to people whose credit is all chocked up.
03:46No.
03:46No. You have to have good credit to get the lease. That's number one.
03:50Then number two, even after you put your good credit on the table, you really aren't coming away with anything.
03:56You're spending more money and you're taking on more potential liability.
04:00I mean, if you get a scratch on the side of the car, any kind of excess wear and tear, any kind of damage, you have to fix that before you turn it in.
04:11Or they'll charge you.
04:12They'll charge you over there.
04:13Pretty funny. I've seen it.
04:15It's a renting car service.
04:17But listen, if you're just trying to get on your feet and get back to work and school and transport kids back and forth, AB Motors is the place to do it.
04:27Yes. If you give us three minutes, literally, we can get you fined.
