you paid the 30% 'out of dealer' devalorization, of a SL55 AMG, plus leasing profits which shouldn't have been easy for this kind of arrangement, times 9, to have 4 years of car without plates.
do that math for that, smart guy, and i dare you to disagree it was moronic.
pay extra to the dealer. pay registration of a new car every 6mo. hassle of dealing with it.
i imagine how many iphone prototypes the dealer found in the glovebox of hundreds of returned sl55 over that time.
