DennisAJC:
One unit is mine, so hopefully I won't quit - LOL. The other three belong to me as well, but are "issued" to guys who have been with me for at least 10 years, BUT to answer your question: I bought them on the GMAC "Smart Buy" - 3 year deal, so they have a built-in "residual balance" @ pmt. #36. If they quit tomorrow, they can purchase the vehicles from me for the residual (about $24K each) and I'm out about 30K per vehicle... Risky on my part? Yes, but the BIGGEST loss would be their departure, not the approx. $90K. These guys do their jobs very well (IMHO) and deserved a perk like this long ago. They are the ones that made it even possible for me to be so "generous" in the first place... :-) Hope I have an excuse to buy 10 next time...
On a related note, I am (seriously) encouraging anyone in my company to consider purchasing an H3 when it comes out, if they find themselves in the market for a new vehicle at that time... It's a kind of "in the club" thing... :-)
