Poor Bill. If he had a head on that pencil neck and narrow, girlieman
shoulders... I'd explain it's hardly worthwhile leasing an expensive
vehicle when you only put 4500 miles a year on it.


There is only valid one reason to lease a vehicle. That is if you can
write off the expenses to a business.

Not true.

Now that you sized up Bill for some bizarre reason, what is your point?
When you refer to an expensive vehicle do you mean your Ranger? Been
sucking down too many Molson's tonight, Donnie?

Danny Boy...the pipes are calling...
Try to stay focused. Big Shot Bill is trashing my "el cheapo Ranger" An
expensive vehicle for me is one with a lease payment over $500.00 per
month.
You'll have to ask Bill what he considers worthy.
No Molson but you've made me thirsty for a cold Labatt Blue.


Not trashing your truck. Decent truck. Trashing fleasing the vehicle.

There is only valid one reason to lease a vehicle. That is if you can
write off the expenses to a business. If you buy a vehicle, there are
limits on the depreciation deduction. Otherwise, leasing is buying a car
with no down payment and paying a premium interest rate. Has nada to do
with annual miles driven. If you drive gross amounts of miles a year,
the business deduction may not save you as much as the excess mileage
charges. If you just want a good daily driver, buy a lease return that is
1 - 2 years old and has 10-15K miles. You will be money ahead. My
shoulders have a head with a brain in it. Is why I would not lease a
vehicle. Maybe you can explain how you are ahead leasing a Ranger. Will
be interesting to peruse the answer.

Simple transaction. Needed something a big stronger to tow my sailboat.
Ford had a special no interest, no down payment deal on Ranger trucks.
The standard transmission models were the best deal at $209.00 CDN a month
on a 36 month lease.
For wife & son use I had to lease the automatic V6 with A/C at $259.00 per
month.




That's $10K over the lease. Plus what is the residual value? Plus the up
front costs?

Is true. Otherwise you are just buying a vehicle with no down payment. Go
for a 2 year old lease return and finance it via your credit union and you
will end up with a lot more money in the bank at the end the deal.

Buy out cost at 36 months = $14K sticker said truck listed
at $25K
0 down... 0 interest..
Better deal this year... I could buy a cheapo 4 cyl standard version for
$13,800 brand new.
This would have been plenty for a dozen tows each year and occasional use as
a 2nd vehicle.
( plus cheaper on gas)

The home repair business is actually very profitable.

But the point is, you haven't taken care of your finances enough so
that you can REALLY retire like most.

But is not my main
source of retirement income.
I know! Thank God for Social Security Insurance, huh?

I just went to Cabo and La Paz for 10 days.

So? Is that supposed to impress someone?
Where have you gone boating and vacationing this year?

Many times!


And my 2004 Diesel
Chevy does not have 200k miles like your jeep.

And it never will. But, I'll bet it's got more miles on it than my
2007 pick up (2 months old) has.

And my vehicles and boats do
not require more than one payment to own.- Hide quoted text -

Damn, that Calif Bill is dumb as a brick!

No major Outlay of Your Capital
No down payment required (except security deposit which is refundable
at lease termination).

Lower Monthly Payments
Payment is calculated on the difference between the vehicle's original
value and its expected value at the end of the lease term; benefit is
a lower monthly payment based on your driving needs.

Better Investment Opportunities
With no major cash outlay and lower monthly payments, you will have
more cash available to payoff other bills or for savings; frees up
line of credit for better applications.

More Vehicle for The Payment
Drive a more expensive vehicle than other financing alternatives
allow.

Selection Assistance
The Leasing Consultant can guide you through your selection process,
emphasizing vehicle type, resale values, and option availability, as
well as explaining the types and terms of leases available, all with
consideration to your driving and financial needs.

Payment Convenience
No need to arrange bank financing; also, as a full service leasing
company, we can offer you vehicle comparisons and quotes on many makes
and models. One stop shopping can save you a lot of time.

Efficient Vehicle Cycling
Leasing allows you to recycle your leased vehicle every two to four
years before expensive maintenance costs occur. Choose the term that
best reflects your anticipated use of the vehicle to maximize this
advantage.

Eliminate Used Vehicle Disposal
No need to determine the value or find a buyer; simply drop off the
car. Of course, the option to purchase is always available.

Inflation Fighter
You will determine your payment per month for the full term of your
lease. If you choose a lease with a "buy-back", you can buy the
vehicle at lease-end with inflated dollars.

Simplified Tax Records
Simple record keeping - no need to calculate annual depreciation and
monthly interest; its all in your monthly payment
