Car leasing is so stupid.

You're throwing money away. When the lease is up...you don't even have a car to show for it!

I'm gonna drive my 1996 Ford Taurus into the ground, I'll tell you what. The transmission just went - should only cost about $4000 to fix. I already replaced it once. The brakes are due again, they keep slipping when I try to stop. Gotta buy snow tires again this year since I don't have that newfangled anti-lock brake poo poo. Only had to spend $1000 this year to fix the muffler and get it to pass inspection!

Car leasing is so expensive!

This guy gets what I mean

http://www.slayerment.com/new-cars-are-poor-people

quote:

People with new cars aren't fooling anybody: they're making payments and they're poor. I just can't seem to comprehend why people think it is so important to drive a new car. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Most new cars people drive usually cost around $20 - $30k. But people don't BUY new cars -- they lease them or make payments on them. And with new cars comes full insurance coverage. So when people buy new cars they are really making payments and then paying another $100+/mo for insurance. Moreover, as soon as you drive a new car off the lot it drops at least 10 - 20% in value. Every way you look at driving a new car is a loss. Does this sound like something a rich person would do?

But for some reason people still think that a new car is a sign of being successful, special, intelligent or rich. It means none of these things. When I see somebody driving a new car I immediately know they are poor. I know this because most people are poor. And if everybody is driving new cars then these people are poor. If you're like most people you're not special. Most people make payments on cars they can't afford. Congratulations, you're average making below average decisions. Everybody on the road also has a new car that they can't afford. Way to stand out and be different.

they're making payments and they're not poor. they're making real money and aren't going to use their time doing serious work on a car while simultaneously having a panic attack because if it doesn't run they lose their job at best buy for missing one day, they lease because they can afford to. except the people who lease and are poor they're double retarded

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I own several 90s luxury cars and I pay very little to maintain them because I'm not a moron and know how to work on and maintain a car.

Not having a car payment is awesome but if I was going to go that route I would actually finance a car that I own when it's paid off. It's not hard if you buy a car that's not a complete piece of poo poo that you'll be stuck with in the end.

Don't buy or lease a rig. Dropped $400 (could've been $1500 w/o warranty) at dealership because only dealer can diagnose newer jeep wranglers. If public transportation exists where you live take that (doesn't exist where I am).

I bought a new car because driving RWD in the snow the east co has been getting was beginning to get kinda loving old. There were other reasons too but mostly that. Car payments suck but that's life.

The trick is to buy cheap used luxury cars, they still look nice and you can just say I love this car I'll never get rid of it. You cant exactly say that with a 99' Prelude. This way you don't spend a lot of money and you don't look poor!

OP, car buying is for fools. Why spend a bunch of money you don't have right now (gotta get designer furniture for your chic 600 sq ft apartment) on a hunk o junk you won't get laid with, when a dealership could set you up on an 84 month lease?

You don't even have to know the full amount of what you're paying. Just hand over a certain amount per month for the rest of your life and always be driving new-ish bland econobox transportation appliances! Interest? Equity? That talk's for poors.

I have so much equity in my car! The local dealer says if I put $2000 worth of work into it and make it look presentable, they'll give me $1000 for it! Isn't that awesome? I dropped collision years ago because that poo poo's for suckers. Now all I have to do is repair the front end that got crushed when I slid into a lightpole and I'll get ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, I'll tell you what.

My company policy is that we have to drive a four door car that is less then 3 years old and has less then 65,000 kms. For this reason, I get $1,200 bucks a month added to my pay cheque to put towards my leased car of choice.

$110, with installation gear. Should take an absolute newbie less than 2 hours, an experienced person can install in less than an hour. Also, it'll sound better than most factory systems.

OP I dun tole you equity is for poors don't worry about that poo poo. Absolutely turn that car into the dealer (private party is just dumb people way overvalue a box that magically transports them places) and lease yourself a sweet new Accord for 84 easy monthly payments of $500. If you bought a car you'd just spend $500 per month on turbo-encabulators, unilateral phase detractors, cardinal grammeters, and all those other useless bits that you'd actually have to spend a couple minutes learning about. That poo poo cuts into DOTA and cheetos time.

You can save a ton of money by never changing your oil and just get your parents to get you a new car if it breaks down. It's even better if they pay for the insurance.
