What I really want to do is get $65,000 and get that and put it in a cd and get interest on that monthly and then pay for my new escalade or 745i bmw. This is the smartest thing to do.
Leasing is a smart idea but to me its like renting a house you dont get anything out of it in the end.
Did you buy the hummer h1 used or new?
Is it yours because its a really nice suv :)

How do you get payments covered with tax write-offs I never heard of this before? Or is this showing loss for your business?

Live in Australia and have that benefit. ROFLOL.;)

Lucky you :)

Do any of you have a sports car?
Do you guys recommend any because I'm thinking about getting rid of the infiniti and move on to something new! :)

The difference between leasing a Car and renting a house is that with a car, you'll eventually upgrade/replace the car. Homes last longer than Cars. Plus, once your house is outdated, all you do is remodel. With a car, you'll have to replace it. Most of use replace it within a few years, plus like Greenbean said, mechanical costs will go up as the car ages. For me it makes sense, my Titan is aging. I have about 88k miles on it already, by the 100k mark I'm going to have to replace it to avoid any costly repairs...luckily it's been a great truck so far.

I passed by an Infinity Dealership and I got me a G37 brochure...it's one sexy car. Also, it's not too expensive for a luxury/sports car. Depending on the trim you desire, it's starts at 34k I believe...you should expect 40k after taxes/destination charges, etc. The best thing about it, it's a V6! I'll get twice the MPG's as my current truck...

Yeah I guess your right about the car getting older and such. My infiniti has 101k on it and thank God the only expensive reapir cost about $1,500. Well anyways I don want to go and get a g37 I don't want another infiniti. Well people any suggestions on any sport cars or if to lease or not I'd just buy the car?

Leasing rocks. i dont think i will ever buy a car again. last car i bought was my BMW 745i which I still have

Unfortunately bmw doesnt make the 745i anymore :(
Im gonna buy a couple cars I always liked then I'm gonna lease a couple but I don't know if I should lease right now or buy.

I plan in the next 2 years to get a Ranger Rover Sport. ummmmmmmmmmm i will have it!

The range rover is on the top of my list I cars to get. But 100k is a lot for that car.

I got a 99' Audi A4 1.8turbo quattro.

Got it for $6,000 with 40,000 miles on it from an old ladie down the street =)

That car looks to be in pretty good condition and you got a pretty good deal! Not bad if this is your first car or if your a young driver. I like the '07 audi but the new '08 doesnt look that good because they messed up the back of the car and it looks ugly.

I have not owned a car for over 2 years now as have everything on my doorstep under 15 mins walk or cycle away - the money you save over the long term is unreal - car payment, insurance, tax, maintainence and esp now with the high petrol costs

I got myself a few nice bikes for road and offroad

TTC and Viva

:) i live downtown...a car would be a pain in the butt.

Ride the rocket: The better way

Currently I have a mint condition 1997 e320 benz. As soon as I make about another 4-8000k on eBay I will be buying a 2004 e55 amg or 2003 s55 with designo and all upgrades in cash.:D

I think I'm in that period of my life where I've had enough fun with cars for now. And it's time to be serious and stop wasting money on them. I'm going to start putting my money into houses for their value rather then waste it with cars.

Pauluss, a pedaless bike? :p

you guys must be making a fortune on ebay with all the cars...fair play or is it from off -ebay income

Thanks

Hello Friends,

I love cars but not yet decided. Which one to drive. Busy always with my forex trading.

I drive a 95 Acura Legend, a 93 Honda Accord, and a 1971 Chevy Impala convertible.

All my cars are paid for (not that they are expensive cars) but I just do not want another bill. I love my cars (gas savers) not the impala, but that my Sunday cruiser with the wife and kids. :)

When I bought mine I settled on the 2006 Ford Ranger Edge. I wanted the Toyota Tacoma Prerunner, but couldn't justify the $5000 more it would cost to get.

So far there have been no issues with the Ford Ranger at 28,000 miles.

And "Yes" I bought it outright...NO Payments!

Sell it before it hits 50k miles. :)

LOL...I'll hit you up at 49,000 since you're interested! :D

Was anyone able to pay cash for their vehicles with ebay profits?

Now: 2000 Saab Viggen
http://genuinesaab.com/gallery/album...0625.sized.jpg

Soon: 2004 Mitsubishi Evolution
http://www.pagautosintl.com/Evo%208%20MR%20F.jpg

Australia sucks for drug prices though. VERY strict enforcement

Saab is a good car... I was actually thinking of getting an EVO a couple years ago before I bought my Titan. They're crazy fast cars, but have harsh rides and very bad MPG. They're fun cars though.

My next car will be a BMW 335i, but that's later. :)

325 and 335 have been rated the best of the best my car and driver magazine for years now. I love the boost in the saab right now. Its at 18PSI which throws you back a lot.

The evo may have a rough ride. But its pure performance! The MPG isnt too bad either. Its a 4cyl :)

I drive a 2008 Mugen si

I thought you can only make a certain amount of withdraws from a CD or you get penalized? Maybe im thinking for something else, but that is actually a good idea.

04 Nissan Titan, bought it at 35000 miles, got about 55000 now.

I have a 150cc scooter just upgraded from a 50cc. 80mpg thats all i care about

Yay! Scooter Time!!
