@Bruce988jl can help you #KAIZENTUNING

 

Not completely..because Darth Maul

 

So... what you're saying is the warranty mod is dead.

 

I hear that K&N makes a good intake for those Subies.

 

You can say it...

Because Alex

 

I thought it was a lease. Better not mod that thing!

 

It's amazing that they'd lease a vehicle like that. I could never have a lease because I'd treat it like a rental car.

 

^^^ Ditto!

 

met a guy local to me who was leasing an STI, said payments were like 2somethin a month. I was like damn, I need to lease one now too lol

 

Have you seen what Gartman Arms is raffling off?

 

True. Realized my mistake after I posted that. Only 8 months or so til the new movie comes out.

 

What kills me about a lease is that let's say you're paying $259 a month, with $3k down. If you've got a 24 month lease, you're paying the equivalent of a $385 car payment, you're limited to 1k miles a month, and when you're done you just give it back. No equity, nothing. If it's a 36 month lease, the situation is the same, but you're paying the equivalent of $342 a month. Meanwhile, if you'd bought a car, you'd have something to show for it besides a pile of receipts.

 

Well there goes that warranty Haha jk

8 more hrs left... And I've been here since 630a. Then a concealed carry class from 6 to 10p... Going to be a long day

 

I used to think about it this way as well, but if done right, there is some equity at the end.

 

My thoughts on leasing was that if a salesperson was pushing me towards it, then there's nothing in it for me. Friend of mine is leasing a 2016 taco for 36 months, no money down and 36k mileage limit. He has to pay the insurance and registration every year for something he can't even do the smallest mod to. Hates his grill but won't even plasti-dip it because what might happen when he turns it back in.

 

How?

 

I understand that it can help your credit, but unless you buy the car you've been leasing, or roll over into another lease, what sort of equity do you get when you turn it in?

 

first, I have never leased, probably never will.

Certain vehicles hold thier value or in demand, when you turn it in its worth more than the residual value and if done correctly you can walk out with a check.

 

I'm leasing my truck right now, but have been planning on buying it since the beginning. We had just bought our house and I wanted to keep my payments down for a little since we had a ton of cash outflow at the time.

 

Not that I would lease but itdoes work for some. Credit can be an issue that makes buying not an option.

My parents lease a CR-V. My mother does 3-4k miles a year and wanted AWD to get her to dialysis
