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.

    • Ask around on here to see if someone is selling…ie a PSL Owner!
    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.
