Its finally mine!!!!!!!!
Tuesday, May 31, 2005 10:15 AM
After leasing the fire for the last 4 years...the lease was finally up. I thought the best thing for me to do in my current situation was buy out the car.

There was no way that I find another used car in such good condition at a lease buyout price, and still have an extended warranty on the car for another 12,000 kms...so I thought I can't go wrong.

What a great feeling.....My baby is finally mine!!!!

Actually, when I worked out all the numbers with the lease rate the finance rate and took into account the lease buyback amount when I was initially considering whether to buy or lease, in the end the difference was very small between the two options.

I actually saved money (about $500) by leasing and then buying back the car at the end of the lease then by financing the whole car.

The advantage was that for 4 years with my lease, I had a lower monthly payments (by about $170) and at the time I thought that I would be able to payoff the lease buy back as one big lump-sump at the end of the lease and thats how I saved money...I only paid interest for the lease portion of the car and also saved on some taxes along the way as well.

All-in-all....a good buy!

Well... congrats on the pink slip... I personally would never lease a car... I put WAY to many miles on a car to even consider doing a lease
