Their 5 yr lease is ending and were looking for someone else to service machine. OK.
It is a 2 person office that the A-Hole sold 80 ppm machine! Maybe the office downsized from five years ago?
They have been paying $400 per month for 5 years! $400.00 x 60 = $24,000.00. Not unreasonable for an 80 cpm copier with accessories especially if a Balance of Payments from the previous lease was blended into the new lease.
And to top it off the heartless bastard gave them a fair market value lease! Most leases are FMV.
Now after paying 3 times what the copier was worth leasing company wants $4,000 to buy it out! 3x as much as the copier was worth is debatable. Try and buy an 80 cpm A3 colour copier for $8k in 2015 prices.
A $4k buyout is high. I would expect approx $2,500.00.
Unbelievable for a human to do this to another human. Then they wonder why they are hated so much!
Oh yea one more thing, the salesman called a few months before lease was up Every salesman does this, you never let the lease get to the end.
and wanted to "slide" them into another lease, get this "he was going to give them a good deal" ONLY $375 per month this time!!! Sounds high for a 2020 model but I do not know the customers requirements.
Takes some balls
