The sizzle in the Steak
The OP's relative (no offense) is bad with finances.

UPDATE #2
He couldn't wait the four to five weeks and got a....
Black 4.8i X5.
It looks nice, there interior is roomy and of course the paint is very high quality and buttery smooth. He'll ruin the paint in two months after taking it to an auto car wash, though.
The shifter is a very original design, it looks pretty cool.
The only thing is, I tried to open the glove box and couldn't figure out how. I need to get the copy of the insurance car with the VIN so I can see if I can get a cheaper rate, lol.
Payments are rather inexpensive considering two things:
1) He traded in a Audi A8 and was upside down on the loan a couple grand.
2) He traded in a 2009 Acura MDX with 1K miles and incurred a couple grand in depreciation added on to the car.
For a MSRP of 71K plus the added negative equity, $900 a mo. sounds like a reasonable price.
Also note the MDX was $700 a mo. So essentially $200 more a month yielded a much nicer vehicle. But factor in he had the A8 payments as well and he saves $400 a mo. + money on insurance.
