Leasing works out better than financing a car if you know you only want to keep it for 3-4 years...I don't care what anyone wants to say or think they got a good deal when you trade your car in every 3 years you will be in the red if you are financing. Only way I'll ever buy another brand new car is if I plan to keep it 8-10 years, the spec is 6 years old paid it off in 4 years feels really good to have no car payment hope to get at least another 4 years out of it unless it dies first

They can be right to what you believe in, but in the total picture, they're still wrong. Buying your car through financing doesn't make you any more of a "baller" than someone else, and depending on the circumstances, definitely not better financially. You buy things that appreciate (land, stocks, housing...for the majority over time), you rent things that depreciate. Your car verse rent example are 2 completely different paths for life. Yes, renting is dumb, houses will appreciate in the long run. Car renting is not dumb, all you are doing is losing money, so try and only dish out as much as you have to.....unless you want to drive that car for decades. Cars depreciate.

The evidence (even excluding interest paid): To buy the full $41,000 for a TBSS AWD out of pocket over 4 years and have it worth $10k when you are done shows you just p1ssed away $31k. And even then, that's just a number on the screen/book, you still literally dished out $41k in cash. After leasing the TBSS AWD for 4 years, when the lease is up you would have paid roughly $20k out of pocket and you can hand it back in no questions asked and get a new car. You saved over $10k in the value department. That's $21k in cash you saved out of your pocket, because you paid $41k in cash to have it worth $10k on a screen/book as a value. So, a person like me just saved myself $20k in pocket cash......................................that's how someone like me drives a TBSS AWD, and has a built RX7 as a garage ornament Not to mention, in 2010 or earlier, I'll have a new car replacing the TBSS If I really gave a sh1t about owning it, I would have financed it and paid it off by now.


Are you going to keep the car for AT LEAST 8-10 years??? IF yes, then it is 100% better to BUY, bad to lease. FACT

Are you going to buy the car out after the lease??? REALLY bad idea to lease at the beginning then. FACT

Thank you

You just proved exactly what I was talking about. Everyone knows (or should) that if you plan on getting rid of a car after 3-4 years then you'll spend less money leasing than buying... duh. What I was talking about was the focking idiots who always have to have the newest best thing and have to get a new car every two, three, fours years instead of being happy with what they got. A car will last that long if you take care of it properly, and you'll spend less money having a car for 6-10 years that is paid off in 4 rather than having a car payment to make on 2-3 brand new cars for 10 years.


And btw, where did I say anything about buying a car through financing making you more "baller" than someone else? Please do us all a favor almighty all-knowing Bob, and stop "ass"uming that everyone you talk to on this site is an idiot. We won't think any less of you for being less of an *******, I promise.

I talk to people the way I feel they can understand the words I am saying or typing. So.....if you indeed feel the way you do, that says something about how you come off in your thoughts and communications.
