Message: <blockquote data-quote="MSA" data-source="post: 33858" data-attributes="member: 193">I have always bought 2-3 year old, or salvage vehicles and fixed them up.  My main reason for thinking about leasing is I'm just sick of fixing the next thing that breaks.  I just replaced my fuel pump because I thought it went out, turns out my fuel guage was just off and I ran outta gas.  so now I'm trouble shooting electrical problems, sending units, etc.  last winter it got so cold my LCD display on the dash quit working so I have no Idea what my mileage is now.  Gotta tear the dash apart and send in the guage panel to get fixed.  Cam phasers are starting to clack like an old diesel, so soon I'll be taking my engine apart to put in a lock out kit, and probably a busted chain guide or two.  I'm thinking for the usual monthly payment I can drive brand spankin new, and then give it back long before crap starts breaking and I have to start spending weekends under a hood again.And leasing is nothing like renting. property gains value, vehicles lose it at an astonishing rate.  and this is more about piece of mind, less about money.  I just want a few years of worry free driving.- - - Updated - - -Maybe if I buy a special edition Harley or a corvette and store it for 40 years, then I could sell it for as much or more than I paid- - - Updated - - -I have made money on vehicles that I've had because I bought them wrecked and fixed them up, or I bought out someone elses loan etc, and ended up selling them for more than I paid.  But my time is worth more nowadays and I want to spend more of it fishing and less of it turning wrenches.</blockquote>
