leaseing a car thoughts?

[Mp859]

So ended up leasing. Ended up being around same payments. But my loan paid off and pocketed some cash with trade in. Not a bad deal. Tried to get wife a new car today too. Tried to buy and get her off her lease. But didn't happen. They wanted us to pay off the last 12 payments and put money down . She's upset but we will try again in 6 months. <img src="http://forums.steroid.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=152148"/> <img src="http://forums.steroid.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=152149"/>

You can paint a turd, but it's still a turd.

Good choice, what engine/trans/gear ratio did you get? If I don't end up putting a stroker motor in my truck in the next couple years, I will end up getting a 14/15 RAM.

HAHA, does it have a gear shift lever or a dial? The dial is an 8spd and the lever would be a 6spd. Think all HEMI trucks got the 8spd in 2014, but not 100% sure.

What happened to the big monthly savings? It never works out the way they tell you and that's one reason I don't deal with car salesmen. I would have walked. I have several times and now just dont bother with them.

I honestly couldn't imagine leasing. Our getting a new car every 3 years.

Unless you're paying cash, keeping low mileage, and maintaining it in meticulous condition, you'll always have a payment. Forever. And especially if your cat devalues faster then you pay, you're adding money to each consecutive loan.

My truck is an 05. Paid off. Bought it in 09. My previous truck was a 95. I literally drove the wheels off it. Sold it for about 1500 to get this one, and honestly I don't think it was worth that much.

I'm going to hopefully drive this one until it's time to scrap it.

Awesome congrats !! Enjoy.

Honestly lovbyts. ..think it's my negotiations abilities. lol...o did walk out of the deal twice. And I could have got it for the price I originally said but wasn't everything I wanted. I am happy with this truck and deal though.

Still unsure about the whole leasing. ..everyone is either for it or against it. So I figure it's worth a shot for the 3 years and see what happens. Will most likely just buy my wife's car when she's ready

At the end of the day that is all that rally matters.

Oh you know she is ready. Ive never known a woman who was not ready to get something new especially a car when you just got one.

She was definitely upset when we left her dealer ship without her car. They were screwing with us. They wouldn't buy out her lease. Wanted us to pay off the rest of the payments plus the penalty.

In a way thats to bad that she is being kind of childish IMO. You have a shiny new toy so she also wants one. Ive never been that way. Never trying to compete with friend or?? I am always happy for them what they have/get is they enjoy it. I have helped a lot of people get things I will never have but have never felt any jealousy or envy.

I'm not saying she is bad but sounds like she is a little envious. I know mine defiantly can be that way and I'm trying to change her thinking. Not an easy task. lol

We planned to get both cars that day. Did not expect for her lease to go the way it did. She was disappointed I should say not upset....lol

I would check with your insurance company beacuse your rates maybe higher.I did that years ago and thats wat happen to me.

Actually switched from all state to my wife's policy at state farm.....saved 140$ for insurance

I went to Esurance years ago and saved a LOT over any of the big companies. Yes Ive used them a few times with no problem.

[Sfla80]

It's crazy how much all state was charging me. I did all types of online quotes before and ever company gave same rate....avg of 230$ a month.

So once I got married decided to check multi car discounts would help. Original quote for my old optima was 103....the truck now is 110.

[lovbyts]

Oh tell me about it, I use to have them (Allstate) also since I was abut 18 and didnt realize how much it had gone up with no accidents.
