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 :)
| 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 Plus, once your house is outdated, all you do is remodel.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... |
