- baha_man 16y agoSo which of those three does a car do?
- e40 16y agoNone of the above. He's talking about planes, boats and women.
- baha_man 16y agoI know that, what I don't understand is the connection to the article, which is about cars. If you're very rich, joining a supercar club rather than buying a supercar probably makes great financial sense. If you're on an average income and want a 'normal' car, I doubt renting would work out cheaper than buying.
- mrtron 16y agoThe article is also about large hidden costs, which the above mentioned 3 contain.
- baha_man 16y agoWell, the article is pretty useless, as pointed out by philk above, so here's some advice for everyone who's not a millionaire: http://www.banking.state.ny.us/brblc.htm http://www.banking.state.ny.us/brblc.htm "Leasing can be beneficial if you want the newest model car, plan on getting a new car every two to three years, plan to drive fewer miles than the lease limit and plan to take very good care of the car... If you plan on driving the car for more than four years you are probably better off buying." And for those with money to burn, here's a George Best quote: "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
- kordless 16y agoI moved to California in 2007. If I had purchased a house, instead of renting like I do now, I would be quite underwater on it by now.
