BP Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 LOL you have to lease your cars? Leases are for people that can't afford monthly payments. I pay cash for my cars. Always have. Chump. I pay cash too, but if he likes the German sports cars it is a wise decision to lease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 It's not 1995 any more, chief. Leasing BMW's perpetually is more expensive than paying cash, and if you're really smart (raises hand) you take the $50,000 and give it to your investment banker who can let that money make money for you and that payback trumps the cash buy in a big way if the $50 a month means that much to you. You don't invest in a depreciating asset and very few things depreciate faster than a car. I wouldn't brag about paying cash for cars if I were you. SAR I Theres nothing wrong with paying cash if you plan on keeping the car for 10 years or more. in your case its wise to lease if you want a new beamer every two years.

Warfish Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 On the lease vs. buy issue, this about covers it: http://www.edmunds.com/car-buying/should-you-lease-or-buy-your-car.html I'm at a loss as to why anyone would feel pride in spending more than required to meet a certain goal, but to each their own. Maybe thats just my cheapskate Scottish blood talking, and to be fair, I do enagage in extravagence myself....just not in my form of personal transportation. I tend to buy, and drive the asset until such time as the asset warrants replacement. I tend to get 0% financing, which helps in the cost/benefit analysis. And I drive many, MANY miles each year, nullifying any advantage to a lease option. And historicly, I get ~10 year+ out of each car, providing five years of maintenance-only costs to ownership. Of course, I also drive a reasonable priced low-maintenance and reliable "Mommy Car" as opposed to a high-cost German Luxury Car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, in Boca, 3 & 4 series are what poor people buy their kids when they graduate HS. Or the car they let the help drive to do the shopping.

Hitman Harris Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 SAR, only women drive convertibles. His wife is the one who drives it. Sometimes she allows Scott to, but most of the time he drives the minivan. YES he has a minivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 That's not only in Boca, a 3 series is for kids. And only a fool would attempt to make a 40k 4 series into a 60k 4series.

As I drove by Olympic Heights this morning stuck between a Bentley and Mercedes SUV, I glanced over into the student parking lot and immediately spotted a blue convertible BMW 3 series....so SAR is apparently a 17 year old living in West Boca.

Lol, you could drive through Boca or Pope HS parking lot and it looks like a BMW dealership lot. No self absorbed person of means would drive a 3 or 4 series to say Mizner Park. Being 17 would go a long way to explaining his posting "style". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee he's never owned one. Or lease one. I had one back when I posted on JI. It was a nice car, but I don't like driving cars. I like my truck, frankly. I like getting off the road, not driving along hoping someone looks at me in my vehicle. I know full well that SAR is just trolling with his schtick, but for a second to think about the persona that he's trying to represent — that type of person is laughably empty to me.

We are talking about the $50k price point convertible mid-life crisis BMW class. Anyone can get one. My ******* sh*tbag uncle leases an Audi in the same pricepoint, he's an excon that works for town park crew doing clean up. Look how impressed I am.

nycdan Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Since the thread is effectively hijacked by BMWs and blow... I have been driving a 5-series for pretty much the last 15 years (leased two, bought last one). Love it. Perfect car for me...good head and legroom, drives wonderfully, just enough of everything. My wife decided she wanted in and we leased her a new X5 just this week. Let's just say I'm getting a little extra gratitude (or maybe it's sympathy...never quite sure). She's also a fan. I really don't give a crap whether 17-year-olds are driving them in Florida. It's a good car for me. Now having said all that, for everyone griping about SAR, he hasn't posted in pages. He likes to light the match, step back and watch a thread burn sometimes perhaps but who's really at fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
