Goddamn it now I need a new car too

[ponyfitness]

We discovered a leak under my girls car on the weekend. Red fluid = transmission, which was confirmed by her mechanic. Lost a lot of fluid and he said there was probably damage.

It is an old '95 Buick so not worth investing $$$ in replacing the tranny. I have an SUV I was planning on trading in anyway if I get this new job so we're shopping as of next week.

Just priced out a bunch with online calculators and leasing for 36 months right now is ridiculously cheap (only pricing imports too Nissan, Toyota, VW, Honda, Subaru). They are giving the stuff away. Purchase even isn't too bad but odds are we will need a new vehicle in 3 years anyway so I'm leaning towards the lease.

Anyone else shopping?

damn you pm, i am back one day and dissed already some of us lease and actually own more than one home (albeit the extras are part of partnerships)

I will take a $500.month lease on a $50k car any day and when i get tired of it in a couple years--poof--its gone and cost less than the depreciation.

Much like leasers, people who buy new are retards too.

Probably the smartest thing you've ever said right there.

I buy new or slightly used and drive them til the wheels fall off.

That's what I normally do...buy a 1-2 year old with low mileage and drive it for years (my current is only 6 years old but it's junk and costing me money now).

I'm thinking ahead...we'll probably be starting a family in 3 years or so which might mean a vehicle switch in that time.

My parents lease 2 of their 3 luxury cars, and its the best thing for them cause they are SUVs and tax deductible for them.
The only thing is my dad on his last mercedes ml went over the mileage and spent 3000 on penalties. So if U travel long distances, yeah leasing is a bad idea.
If its not something U can tax deduct, I think leasing is not good at all.

Yeah, Warren Buffet said the exact same thing.
I also think refurbished is better than brand new.
I got a refurb 15 inch macbook pro with 2.4 speed, and 160 gigs, superdrive, but
I traded it in within 5 days and got the 13 inch, saved me like 600, which I used up on Christmas Gifts for parents, friends, brother, GF, and 2 professors.
Looking back now I should have just gotten last years 15 inch for 1300 instead of a brand 13 for 1400. The graphics though are impeccable.

Sorry I can't STFU, I"m like Kathy Lee Gifford bout my macbook.

No point in leasing and paying for something that you are never going to own.
