Title: ahearn funds points and why the hell can you get 100 of them just for
Post by: Dr Rick Daris on July 25, 2011, 02:51:25 PM
purchasing a car off of kstatecars.com thread.

if anyone can explain to me how this can happen, I'm all ears. did briggs purchase a bulk of points at a discount or something similar to what cc companies do with airline miles. seems weird, no?

100 ahearn points and $5 can get you a $5 footlong at subway, Daris.

buy a fball season ticket...one point
donate a hundred dollars...three points
buy a 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE CLASSIC SPORT UTILITY 4D for $3995... one hundred points.


of course. I mean, obviously. this makes total obvious sense.

i'll be blunt here tortuga. ahearn points can suck a Dick for all I'm concerned. I'm just curious how the eff the god damn car lot can give you a hundred of them for purchasing a three thousand dollar nine year old dodge neon. I mean, if I go and dump off three thousand dollars on the ahearn fund doorstep tomorrow, I only ninety points. the math does not add up tortuga. too much salt water? jackass.

yeah, but no. If I wanted to get ahearn points though, i'd absolutely buy the cheapest car on their lot, turn around and sell it. rinse, repeat. that's not the point though. the point is...how does this make since for briggs? are they getting an unlimited amount of ahearn points on the cheap? can other people give people ahearn points? like, can I advertise my crappy rental house fsbo with the understanding the the washer and dryer stays and the purchaser can also have all of my ahearn points? does kstate own briggs? does briggs own kstate? I don't understand any of this. buy a big mac at third street McDonald's and get .2 ahearn points? when and where does it end? where does it start? these are all questions we should be asking. the trial of the system is just starting.

Seems pretty shitty that someone who has been supporting kstate for years and spent more money can lose priority to some jackass who rolls up in a 2004 Chevy Aveo.  Chevy Aveo or no, I'm probably more EMAW.

Sounds like we need a goEMAW exclusive to dig up the dirt on this one.  Who did you guys get to fill the spot Beth Mendenhall declined?  eff, this would've been right in her wheelhouse.

Seriously though- I would imagine that Briggs donated a crap ton of money to the fund and was allowed to give the pts accumulated as a sales incentive.  Also, doubt you could just buy any car off the lot and get the hundo.

There is a limit to how many cars you can sell per year without a dealer license. I'm not sure what that limit is, though.

If it's less than 65, it's ridiculous.


EDIT:

Did some deep digging and found some good info here:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100515100918AAyd82J (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100515100918AAyd82J)

I particularly like "Government Trap #2".


Second EDIT:

Looks like you can buy and sell 5 cars in Kansas before your situation can be described by a popular Clash cover song. That would put me at 1500 points, somewhere between 250th and 500th highest in the pecking order.

Last rough ridin' EDIT:

Just realized I mixed up 100 points/car with 300 points/car. Screw it, not worth it.
