Drlifttruck: In the REAL world there is a customer/client relationship built between two business people that is built on trust and understanding. It's unfortunate that sometimes this trust is taken advantage of due to profit or the sake of making a sale. And yes, even "college" educated people make this same mistake.
Here is one scenerio that I actually witnessed more than once: A corporate purchasing agent (he/she is college educated) needs to purchase/lease 20 new forklifts to replace the aging costly fleet. He wants to look good to upper management so he goes for the most cost effective alternative. (the cheapest monthly payment) There are six lift truck companies bidding on the contract. The purchaser picks the cheapest contract and at the end of the five or six year lease the company owes boat loads of money on the trucks. The original purchaser doesn't care because he has already moved on and is working for another company. Now the dealer pushes the new purchaser into another contract to cover the end of lease costs of the previous contract.
How many of you have leased a car and taken the lease contract to your attorney before signing?
