no i don't own the car at the end of 36 month lease and if you finance the car for 60 months you don't own it till end of 60 months!!
figure it out
36 monthsX 400 a month lease
36 monthsX 600 a month finance
see what you have saved
then 24 more months of 600 a month left
then you own the car
not counting extra maintenance you need to do for extra 24 months!
do the calculation, i don't have time!:bowrofl:

Ummmmm no you don't. I can buy the car tomorrow. I can sell it tomorrow. I can buy at lease end. Or I can give nissan the keys and walk. (I'll buy it at some point in time but I could also just trade in it for the brand new 2016 Z in 30 months and owe nothing). PS I haven't wasted anything yet!! Not till AFTER I buy the car and pay interest on the buy loan after its fully paid off. Then I'll have spent $20.80 a month more than you. Big deal.

But you owning that bitch can have issues if you want a divorce early. My divorce is written in stone in 38 months total and I have a prenup letting me pay ZERO ;). And if the car gods smile upon me and it holds its value, that bitch owes me money :happydance::happydance::happydance:

but that's not gonna happen because nissan screwed us all with the 14 price drop. So instead of eating $3600 in 38 months like 13 buyers will, I walk I zero.

and we were soooo close....

wait wait wait........

why would i marry a hooker i'm pimping out.

c'mon bro.....you cant make a ho a house wife. :shakes head:

with all this finance talk you'd think you'd at least get the hooker part of the story right. geez.

:facepalm:

now you for sure lost. :tiphat:

Syno, why do you own a house? Why not rent an apartment for the rest of your life? Save money on property tax and you can spend that on track days...

I sorry :rolleyes:

Why wouldn't you use the same term note as the lease to make the numbers comparable? Not everyone wants a 5 year note. And "not owning the car at the end of the lease" isn't the same as "Not owning the car until the end of the note".

Oh, wait, you're a car salesman. :rofl2: You have a vested interest in playing games with numbers.

One thing I think we can all agree on- this thread isn't long for this world. :rofl2:

Sorry OP, hope you got what you needed before we all tarded it up :rofl2:

As much as any guy that would own a buy during 5-6 years while still paying. Forget the lease part. Worry about time frame. If you buy and I lease then buy, we're in the same boat. I pay less but slightly more over time. You pay more but slight less over time. Pick your poison. To each their own, geeez.

simple.

OP - dont buy


syno - needs to buy


:tiphat:

Ill PM the list if you want it

I didn't read through the whole thread but for the people that lease have you guys ever tried to buy the car after or just went looking for a new car?

People that I know say leasing is better because you can buy the car after for a really good price but the few people that actually try to buy the car after realize that leasing was a bad choice because the price to buy the car is not even close to what they told them originally.

well for a guy who cant love a car enough to keep it for more than a year or less then divorce part you mentioned earlier makes sense now.

i rather recieve nudes than a list.

:iagree:

Shall we now add in opportunity cost to keep the debate going until the mods shut this sucker down? :rofl2:

Even better- let's assume any differences are invested. And we need to bring in taxes too. How complicated can we make this word problem? A train leaves Albuquerque travelling at 167 mph.....

IBTL......first lol i win again :bowrofl:

Lol where the **** do you live? My apartments have been well over $1000 for a shitty 1 bedroom. My house is $900 for 3 beds, about 500 more square foot and lots of land. And I know you're being funny so you know why.

bro stop lying.....you live in cleveland. enough said.

I think the only thing the OP has learned at this point is that we're all an argumentative bunch of pricks. :rofl2:

I have not because I want new all the time.

100% false. They're lying to you. In the contract is the residual price. There is no moving that price for anything!

Now if you drive over your miles and beat the **** out of the car and the VALUE is under the residual (that's what the price of the car should be after 3 years if the amount of miles you bought and still in good condition), then you'd be buying a car for the agree upon price, say 20k, but it's only worth 18k because you drove it an extra 10,000 miles. Dropping the value happens to anyone the more your drive it.

And another train leaves Los Angeles traveling 147 mph, at won't point do you buy versus lease?

There are too many factors to throw into this debate of leave v buy, not just the cost of the car, but interest rate, time value of money & opportunity cost. Those arguing for a lease need to also understand that a lease really is meant to be written as a loaner car for X number of years. It really is not a viable way to get into a car and then buy it out at the end, unless you know exactly what the value of the car is worth in X years and it beats what the dealership or loan company is offering.

Now, we have left out one very good reason to lease- it gives you the ability to drive a BMW/Merc/Audi and just give it back the moment it starts to break. :rofl2:

valid point my friend :tiphat:

Well fingers crossed I'll keep this forever. I'm graduated, good job, home etc, I'll buy a used jeep down the road to play with and hunt and winter etc.

Lol do I? I lived near there. Want the apartment link? Then moved to columbus. I'll update for you now.

100% correct! :iagree:

However the wife's parents 07 c270 and 11 e350 and my 09 c300 have all been great. If it breaks then I'm ****** :bowrofl:

But let's be real, those cars also can be owned by people who want that but can't afford the buy. Nothing wrong with that.

Also some people here can't even turn a wrench. Some people go 20k on an oil change. Those people are not great buyers since the dealer will do the maintenance and they don't know jack.

oooooo apartment link.....sounds kinky :yum:

I live in a state where the property tax will rip you a new a55hole.

Well my city's are busy so high apartments. Property around here is 2-4k.
