...was the question.
I'll type slower in the future.
Let's see-----my total "rent" for the 36 month lease is a whopping $42 so I basically financed it at 0% for those 36 months.

Wow- if I can buy a car for $42 I'm on it.Let's see-----my total "rent" for the 36 month lease is a whopping $42 so I basically financed it at 0% for those 36 months.
A bunch?Some people are missing the point.
If I had leased vehicle(s) for 20 years, how much would I have spent compared to the one time price, in 1999, for a Camry?
Let's extrapolate (I used a big word).
Leasing works for me. It might not work for you but it does for me.
Dave is an investment guru.Must be nice to be rich....or have a CPA that is skilled in "creative accounting".

Huh- never knew that rent and interest are the same thing. This could be a game changer for me. Lol.Rent = interest.
$353 * 36 = $12,708.
My LEV is $13K and change so if I do pay it off I will have spent roughly $26K for a 2018 car that will have 20K miles on it. And has all the bells and whistles.
You have got to stick up for yourselfFull time... but they said they were dq'ing me for forgetting to clock out for my break yesterday. I started out a little slow during training, they didn't have work for me for about 4 weeks in the middle of training, but made scratch for the 4 days until yesterday and yesterday I went 15 minutes over.
I've never spent more than $2000 on a car. Of course there is individual labor involved maintaining older vehicles. The ones built in 1990-2009 are a hell of a lot easier to work on than the trash they put out of production now. Just last week I had to clamp a rubber sleeve over one of my leaking power steering lines.Rent = interest.

But, but, but,
You’re retired and irrelevant............
That's the way to do it. My daily driver and only vehicle is a 97. When it does eventually crap out I'm not getting anything newer than a 2006. I buy with cash and stick to Toyota, Honda and certain year Subaru.I've never spent more than $2000 on a car. Of course there is individual labor involved maintaining older vehicles.

Guess I prefer my vehicles to be around the same age as me.
