C63's are dope but these super rounded lines on the new MB's are whack as hell.
Yeah I looked at the CLA 45 AMG for about 2 minutes than realized it looked like a Camry

THESE NUMBERS ARE NOT REASONABLE. $400/MO LEASE ON A $50K CAR WITH 0 DOWN, I DONT SEE THAT HAPPENING. ALSO, A $50K CAR DEPRECIATING TO $10K IN 8 YEARS IS ALSO NOT BELIEVABLE UNLESS ITS A PIECE OF SH*T. THE 2013 GT500 CAME OUT 4-5 YEARS AGO AND IS STILL IN THE $40K RANGE. TO SAY THAT CAR WILL BE $10K IN THE NEXT 4 YEARS IS NUTS.
Bring up a GT500? Cmon bruh you know damb well that's a terrible example.
But since I'm on the train, here ya go playa:
General rule in industry is monthly lease payment is 1% of sales price.
So for a $30K car, $300/month. Accords prob go for this all day.
Say you buy it, average value after 3 years of ownership (Edmunds) is 58%, or $17.4K. If you sell it then, you've paid $12,600 for 3-yrs.
Say you lease it, $300/month for 3 years cost you $10.8K.
You pay less with the lease.
But now let's say you keep the car another 3 years. Car's statistically worth 35% of its sales price, or $10,500. But of course maint/repairs come up, let's say $3K (that's prob understating). If you sell it then, you've paid $30K-$3K+$10.5K=$22.5K for 6-yrs.
Say you go into another lease, you end up paying another $10.8K for similar lease term. Your overall cost is $21.6K.
How's that sound?
My point is there's a reason smart people, businesses, corporations, etc lease things over buying. Locking up (usually large amounts of) cash into a car, machine, equipment, etc (any asset that depreciates heavily and becomes obsolete) isn't a good idea unless you're unable/unwilling to invest elsewhere. Or maintain it well and keep it for a long time. That said, as car enthusiasts, we make exception to fulfill an emotional need.
I don't even lease
All this lease is better alk assuming you're gonna eventually sell the car?
What about the simple scenario that you keep it? No monthly payments.
Finance the daily, lease anything else.
Zero down leases >
All relative tho.
Thing is, most people do sell.IF YOU DONT PLAN TO SELL THE CAR ONCE ITS PAID OFF THEN THE PERSON WHO BUYS WILL ALWAYS WIN.
Lets see some cars. I know some Nter just bought a Porsche
The Maserati dealership by me offers a ghibli for lease for $0 down and only $499 a month.
You can only drive about 4k miles though
I copped a GT3 a couple of weeks back...
Almost got me. Looked like a dealership photo
You park between the lines? Smh
I did buy a GT3 though (for real):
subaru? but I guess my viewpoint was stemming from the fact that we already have a four door for us, why do we have to get another, ya feel me?Your NEXT car? Get a damn sedan man, whats wrong with you.
