eh i leased an Altima instead... not knowing what was happening with work and everything at the time i decided to get a 2 year lease and by then i would know what I am doing...

But it is about time for a new one.. and I think I am going to get the truck this time..

Ah I like the Altima's nice car for the money. I would like a truck, but gas prices have me thinking otherwise

If a lease is done properly it is a great way to spend your money on a car.

But you have to know all the details going in and make sure there is no suprises. There can be some shockers if you dont get everything in writing up front.

You know how sneaky those car salesmen can be,:headroll: :headroll: :headroll:


Dont let the salesman tell you even thou it is a 60 month lease (and yes that is what they try on you first) you will be able to trade out in 24 months without much problem, or miles dont matter, just trade it in just before the lease runs out.

Those are things said by salesmen that wont be at the dealership but a short time.

Sorry I have to disagree with you no leasers.

It is the best way to have a new car every three years or so without taking any money out of your pocket.

The car is always under warantee and there are never any repair bills.

As long as you resign yourself to the fact that you will always have a car payment and UNDERSTAND the cons as well as the pros to leasing it is fine.
Too many of my fellow salespeople push the low mile leases to keep a payment low even if they know the customer is going to drive more miles.

An informed customer is a happy customer.

Was leasing invented as a way to help the customer or the dealer/banks?
