The increased cost of vehicle maintenance

[GaryOkie]

If I’m wrong; please correct me:


1) How do you have unlimited mileage leases? I’ve never seen a lease without either a mileage limitation or simply pay for more mileage before/after lease term.



2) How is a lease car able to be returned with cosmetic damages (above normal wear and tear) not being charged either to fix or to offset the depreciated value from said damages?
Example: your leased car is sitting outside your apartment complex and get bad door dings or weather related damages. Who eats that?

You are correct in that I do not have first hand experience because I pay cash for vehicles and do not carry debt (like a lease).

Can you answer those questions without name calling or being overly dramatic?

OK, I’ll give you a hint but I’m not telling you any inside info. YOU NEVER, EVER, EVER turn your car back into the dealer!!!! EVER! Now, by what I just said you might think you know what I’m talking about, but you don’t. You just know the first rule of leasing. Turning a lease back into the dealer at the end of a lease is STUPID!

I am trying to read between the lines; you are saying that the only way to avoid the 2 issues I asked about is to personally take on the liability of private selling the vehicle so that mileage and any damages are then part of your sell price.

You are also saying that residual after term is going to be no less than what is owed to the institution.

If I am correct in understanding your response then it’s literally a gamble and that is horrible advice.

Out of curiosity what cars do you currently lease? Since you mentioned being married I’m assuming 2 leased vehicles and you’re poised to make thousands at end of term - that makes me curious as to what cars and terms you chose.

Nope, nope and nope. No gamble at all. I know exactly how much I’m going to pay for the car and exactly what I’m going to make. That’s why I told you I’m not giving you anymore info. This isn’t a class and I don’t need competition, but thanks for playing. Giving you advice on what I buy and how to come out ahead would do nothing for me. People don’t lease because they don’t know how and they get taken advantage of. Same with any car really. Leases are actually much easier, but you still have to know what you’re doing.

I notice you didn’t answer a single question but it sounds like you’ve got it all figured out. Those stupid multi-million dollar dealerships are going to get crushed by your ingenious plan.

I can only assume you lease hundreds of cars so that you make huge profits in volume.

Reminds me of gamblers that brag about how they figured out how to beat the Casinos at the tables, lol

LOL. I do have it figured out. Bothers you doesn’t it Snoopy. Dealerships make enough money off of uneducated suckers like you. When a guy like me slips through the cracks, they rarely pay attention, because even if they don’t make a dime, I’m one more sale to pad their monthly stats. Now go mow your lawn Snoopy while I look lovingly at the new Infinity I bought.

I bet you're getting fleeced on that new infinity but just have different ideas on what's a good deal.

He is. Just like Casinos, car dealerships laugh at the suckers who think they’ve got it figured out.

I just read that earlier he stated he’s now using Uber and his Wife doesn’t have a car but now he has a new Infinity that he bought.

I finally figured out that he’s a troll and probably getting a good laugh at me (and others) playing along.

Are you both retarded? I’m not talking about the car Infiniti. I’m talking about the handgun Infinity.

I’m not Ubering moron. I said I could because I barely put any mileage on my car.

Yes, if you know anything about dealerships they will always get their money. People that say otherwise for more than one crazy random deal probably are looking at the numbers incorrectly. Also a new infiniti is a high depreciation vehicle. I wonder if he's just leaving out the monthly lease payments.
