Definitely agree about the car! We keep ours forever too, but a luxury car like that makes more sense to lease. I don't know who pays for maintenance and repairs when leasing, but some of those cars are really expensive to keep up! Yeah, I assume he's getting some good advice! When you lease a new car, it's under the manufacturer's new car warranty, generally 3 years basic, 5 years power train. I don't know what the Bentley warranty is specifically, but, yeah, leasing can be a good option depending on individual circumstances. Also the insurance required is quite a bit higher on a leased car since it is " borrowed". But I agree it's a smart financial move for Adam because of his circumstances. I think it's probably tax deductible too, if used for business purposes. |

Hi Everybody!  I appreciate you all very much...  You can't see it but I do have a fire extinguisher on the side of that blazing cake.. LET VIV EAT CAKE! Sorry, Betty, I have already been sampling. I try to be discreet, sorry other BD folks. You might see a stray fingerprint where some icing used to be. What can I say? It's CAKE!  Love you all..thanks again for the wishes!  |

Yup, the Bentley. I generally think leasing a car is not a smart move, but that's because I keep a car forever. For Adam, it makes a lot of sense. He doesn't keep his cars for a long time. This is his third in six years, right? He also probably doesn't put a lot of miles on the car with the amount of time he is away from home. Leasing, he can always have the newest car that suits his fancy, and swap it out every couple of years. He doesn't have to plunk down a huge wad of cash for a purchase. I thought it was also interesting that he has a mortgage. While he could pay for his house outright at this point, again, it may be much wiser, financially, to invest his money elsewhere, what with mortgage interests being so low recently. It would appear Adam is getting some solid financial advice. Hope he is socking away a lot of dough so he can feel secure and free to choose the art he wants to create. Definitely agree about the car! We keep ours forever too, but a luxury car like that makes more sense to lease. I don't know who pays for maintenance and repairs when leasing, but some of those cars are really expensive to keep up! Yeah, I assume he's getting some good advice! When you lease a car, it's like you own for the duration of the lease. You have to maintain it. He may have a mileage option to stay within a certain number of miles. Also at the end of the lease you must turn it in with minimal wear and tear, otherwise it is your responsibility to correct it. At the end of the lease you have the option to buy. The buy out figure is calculated at the beginning of the lease and there is no negotiating it (this may be different for high end cars). Also there is a turn-in fee of $400, and if you are over miles you pay so may cents per mile. If you lease a newer car with the same company again, or buy out your existing car they waive the fees.
The insurance is not higher. It is calculated based upon the value of the car, and its age and who is the driver and their driving record.
Leased many a car. I did it for business reasons. The business write-offs for tax purposes were greater.
