Leasing my first car.


Dex

Recommended Posts

I'll be leasing my first car in a couple weeks. No more Daewoo Lanos thank the lawd. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking at the 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i limited but I may have to go for the premium to save some money. AWD and 36 MPG highway is nice.

Why lease?

I always figured there were too many catches in the contract and you're just borrowing someone else's property for a while.

 

Lease is a great way to go if you do not drive much.  That said I would never a lease a car because I drive a lot.  I like to go fishing, play sports and etc.  I usually drive 15k-18k a year so leasing option is not for me.  If you stay below 12k a year then leasing might be a good choice.

Leasing a car... it's a rent... u will never own it. Buying a car... you pay for it for 5 years and it's yours.

I know the difference between a lease and financing. Also the cars I want can't be paid off in 5 years. If you don't have any experience with leasing or anything to contribute then kindly take your leave. Thank you though.

Less. I work from home and take the train to the city.

 

I'm not trying to pry or to judge, but if this is the case, (and I realize you said it wasn't debatable) it sounds like you're a very temporary car user. I still think it'd be better for you financially if you could find a cheap, reliable used car.

 

I'm not sure what kind of area you're in, but if you're taking a train to the city, are there any other public transit options that would better suit you?

 

I just feel like leasing isn't a good financial decision because all your money is getting you is a temporary use of someone else's thing.

With the amount you spend on a lease, you could easily make loan payments on a used car loan and get something with money left over that you can put towards something else.

 

Again, I'm not trying to sound judgemental or whatever, but I just personally feel like there have to be better options out there for you.

    • Well hold on let's pause for a second and establish some things first since we're on the subject of "cop outs with no room for nuance". Our own QB has 37 games under his belt. Many of them are either subpar or just plain bad. We only just this past Sunday won our 2nd road game in his career. But months and months of contentious discussion since his rookie season has largely resulted in the oft used argument that Bryce Young's struggles were due to the coaching and players around him and ultimately he couldn't be blamed But now apparently it seems like you folks have fully tossed that out and are actively blaming Stroud while wholly omitting contributing circumstances around him. So which is one it????? As far as Brees. Look I've got to be direct here. I cannot stand that guy. But I would have to concede that he had a significantly better arm than Bryce Young. I mean it's not even close. Plus as much as it annoys me to say it's clear Drew Brees wasn't afraid to hit the weight room either. And Baker has obviously always had arm talent that showed on the tape even when he was struggling or being a tool. Acknowledging all of this is the first step in gaining a firm footing in reality with the rest of us.
    • I know one thing. I would have Horn active this week. If he gets behind the defense Andy will get that ball down there.
    • I think if we were 2-5 right now and finished 6-11 then that would be more understandable. But at this point.. 4-3 entering week 8. They have to at least finish 7-10 or it’s going to look like they fell apart. Finishing 7-10 still means we go 3-7 down the stretch.
