That’s why I keep buying new cars Keeps me from having a huge number for a new car because I’m trading in every 3 to 5 years.




You think this saves you money? In that case why not lease? You are stupid.

That guy’s not smart…. BUT i dont think leasing makes sense in a lot of cases.. speaking for myself, ive leased a couple times before- and the mileage limits are WAY too restrictive IMO…. I think one vehicle i leased had a 12k mi limit, and the other was 15k per yr.. Now, i have had years where ive driven under 12k miles.. but in most years i far exceed that and , im sorry- but if i have a vehicle, i want to be able to drive it and not constantly stress about the miles like im stressing about cell phone minutes in the year 1999….. and yeah i tried negotiating for more miles last time, but it was cost-prohibitive .. now i buy gently used and drive them as much as i want .
