Why do people LEASE there cars?

[Scrappy]

OHHH pat being a punk too go play iwth the twins!

[Spyder]

^ either you forgot a word... or are a true idiot... cause that isnt a complete thought or sentence...

you need to work on your pointing skillz

[Chuckster]

for some peeps its cheaper depending on the car. you do not have to put a down payment and have like a $400 payment a month on like a 50g car

down fall is if you like tuning cars your fucked cuz you will lose all that money. If you fuck somethign up, you end up having to pay for it.

It really all depends on the type of person.

Just claim it isnt your native language so you don't always understand, i do that.

JEALOUS!

i pointed out the rest of it in a previous post, and depending on the car and the business you are in it is very nice to have a 150,000+ dollar car that is a complete tax write off where as a purchased car is not a tax deduction. some people also take comfort in knowing they have a good car and dont have to worry about anything in terms of maintance short of changing oil and putting in gas.

That aspect of it is fine, but for a typical consumer it really doesn't benefit anyone but the dealership. And as far as maintenance goes, most cars these days don't require any major tune up for at least 60k miles. And some cars have warranties that surpass that.

[Mike4831]

You will always have debt, so what? Your comments are pretty narrow-minded. You have to think of other factors.

I wouldn't call it pretty narrow minded, but I grew up in a house with parents who worked for everything and became millionaires by the time they were 50. And I take everything my parents say to heart. And they always told me never to rent or lease anything. It is the biggest mistake you can make.

[Scrappy]

no the biggest mistake you can make is being you already covered that area...

Warranty doesn't cover things that should have been done in normal maintance. if you dont change your oil in 60k miles they dont just give you a new motor, so that part of it is just a given expense of owning an auto. the flips side of it is when in a lease car you never go past the 60k warranty because it is due back before then, if you DO go past it you are fucked anyhow lol.

i think a life of drugs and alcohol ranks up there somewhere with rent..

Apparently something in your life isn't as great and you try to feel superior to everyone else by attempting to cut them down.

That is very true. I have noticed over the years that IA has very few people on here you can actually discuss topics. Not everyone is going to have the same views as everyone else, but because people as so dogmatic on here it really doesn't matter.

Well if some of the people on here don't look to older individuals for financial guidance, who are they asking?

[Spyder]

The irony of your statement is that I first saw you as being one of "those people" with your un explained 6 word inital post.

That should be spelled U.S.A.. opinions are like dingleberries, every on has some hanging but wont admited.

[4dmin]

[Mike4831]

So where you get the 14 k or os ?

That is because IA has really changed over the years. More like Off Topic and Genmay. Most people don't even read what you post.

unfortunatly the rest of the IA community mainly composed of 16 year olds driving their parents camary's...

[Scrappy]

[Spyder]

PM me about tomorrow.

And yes it is , my father taught me that trick, do a long ass lease with a 1 penny purchase price when the lease is up

[Darling Nikki]

Mommy and Daddy helps lil boys out so much. Gosh!!! That must be nice.

[Buford®]

EVERYONE was helped by their parents at one point. No denying that. We had to get a start some where. Look at most of us, most of us are all independent now, but that's because we had help in the beginning.

[Scrappy]

zero help since i was 16 about sums it up, yes they supported us when we were not eligable to, but since the day i could i have tried my best and have succeeded

[IndianStig]

Thats the main bad thing for people like us, We just need to grow up and quit this shit and lease a vette

Please don't then we cant rag on your car for having the looks to beat a tt supra but the engine to beat a monocycle.

[civic95]

Leasing a car as said before is a tax write off if you own your own business. Also a lot of companies pay people x amount of dollars for a vehicle per month. Most companies that do this require you to lease a car in order to get that allowance.
