i'm running my 2001 Toyota until it dies.
car note is paid.
it starts up every time.
great on gas.

lol at every dent and scratch on it being from it being hit while it was parked.

i'm riding with my old girl till she dies.
I understand you man. I have a 2008 Chevy Impala. It's got it's little issues but now the transmission is slipping. So I want to keep the car so I can keep miles of whatever I end up getting. That's why I want to get my transmission rebuilt and go ahead and get all the other minor issues knocked out. Then around April start test driving and doing research on what I'm deciding on. I got some trips coming up so I'll try to rent one of my choices and decide from there. Plus since I'm not going to be driving the new whip everyday I can keep some of the miles off of it. My current car has 196K miles on it and I keep the service up the best that I can. But I bet it will fill nice to have 2 different keys on the key chain, until note/insurance day.

Circumstances forced me into getting into a lease (old car broke down and I need a car to get to work... didn't have time to do a proper search and needed something reliable :mjcry:)... but ownership is key. I'd never choose leasing over owning if I had a choice.
but its a depreciating asset tho:dead:

Only way to get manageable payments on a nice car is to put a substantial amount of money down. If you can afford a $500 payment then you can afford to save up $10,000 and put it towards the loan right off the bat. Plus, you'll have some positive equity in your car and can actually trade it in without losing money. If that's not an option, then you're living above your means:francis:

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
I thought about leasing. My uncle been leasing caddy's for over 15 years. He switches up every two. But I can't see paying a car note plus not having the option of just getting liability insurance only. Plus theres nothing like having the title in your possession :wow:

So I will always be pushing something 5 or 6 years old :manny: I make 61k a year but I live in North Jersey. If I was making what I'm making living in Va or some shyt I would take on a car note without thinking twice about it.

So you put 10k down and a couple of months later you totaled the car... what happens to your 10k?

My honda has over 230k miles on it and been paid off since 2008. Walked into the audi dealer and copped a traded in infiniti on the low for under $15k :shaq:
BMW is the ultimate driving machine, but i can't do it.I'm too broke boy status for that. Know too many dudes who copped and ended up trading them in cause of that off warranty maintenance schedule :whoo:
