Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

We did have 2 leased cars, mine just went back.

Now I have the Honda CRV we originally leased for DH and we bought a used Dodge pickup for him. We bought it outright, but we borrowed money from my dad to do it. We are paying him back $400 a month- so it's costing us more than another lease would've- but we aren't paying interest. Plus, we had to get the transmission rebuilt 3 weeks after we bought it (We bought from a private seller so there was no warranty or anything)

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

We finance our truck but are planning on going back into a lease sometime in Jan/Feb 2012.

We got stuck having to return our previous lease at the time where banks wanted to do away with leasing all together or were going to charge you a ridiculous interest rate.

We didn't want to buy out our current lease because we would have been screwed out of $, so we had no choice but to get into a finance.

i don't like owning a car for lionger than a certain amount of years. I hate having to pay for major repairs. I much rather trade in at the 3-4 year mark before the bigger issues arise.

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

A combo - we own outright and finance.

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

I have an 09 enclave and DH has an 09 jeep wrangler. We purchased both outright and have never had a payment.

Before these vehicles, DH always had a company car and I leased. I am certainly going to miss not having a new car every 3 years, but being payment free is great.

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

We finance our cars , try to pay off in 3 years and keep them . We gave a civic that has no payment fir 6 years( 2001) and an Mdx we literally just paid off.

I would love to lease my cars but to have a never ending car payment, there is just no way I can justify that.

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

dh and i both own our cars.
dh bought used. I leased new, since i was barely working at the time and then bought it when the lease was over.

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

Normally we own our cars outright however now my truck is financed.
DH has 2 work trucks he owns amd my tahoe is financed.

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

DH's car we own and it is a station car. My car is a lease.

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

Own outright a 2002 Honda Civic

Second year of a 3 year lease of a 2010 Toyota Prius. When this lease is done, I'd like to lease another one because I love it so much!

Re: s/o thread- Leasing/Financing Car Poll

We lease our cars and I would never do anything but that. It works for me/us.
