Thanks for your posts guys....
I have been leasing cars for close to 30 years & love it. 2 1/2 years ago I got a brand new Caddy that had a sticker price of $52,000. And other than paying for registration fees, I paid zero money down when I took control of the car. And over the years, other than paying for gas, I hardly paid anything. The first maintenance app't. was on General Motors & this maintenance cost me $78.Now since I'm coming to the end of the lease, I am going to pay $856 for 4 new tires. And that should be the extent of my costs for the 3 years of driving this car. Sometime in the fall, I will start looking into what new car I will be driving next. I may be wrong but imo this can't be beat.
Vinnie....$625
ouch Al...I used to lease and I paid $283 for a Honda
turned it in at no penalty and decided to buy...got a 2006 Mercedes with only 39k miles for 16,900...put 7k down and only pay $270 a month for it
I was like you for years, like a new car to drive every 3 years or so but think you can do better buying and either deciding to keep it or having enough equity to trade again in a couple years with value...but good luck in your decision!

I once read an article that basically said that.... " we should buy things that appreciate & rent things that depreciate".
But the bottom line is that we should do what makes us feel comfortable. You feel comfortable putting $7000 down on a car & paying less per month, while I rather use that $7000 for something else & put nothing down on a car & pay more per month. With the car that I have now, I probably will have spent a little over $1000 total on the car.
Arguments can be made supporting each of us, but again the bottom line is what we feel comfortable doing.
