[QUOTE="quad, post: 16650472, member: 17952"] I wasn't sure if you were pro lease vs own or not. Here's what you posted regarding what the Ford CEO said: [i]"[U][b]Nice way to put a spin on soon all new cars are leased not owned soon[/b][/U] (think about how you "own" your cellphone, you don't, forced updates some which slow it down, ToS economy)".[/i] I was referring to the cost of being able to drive a particular vehicle in a lease vs own scenario. I am asking does it really matter if you own it or not? Because the vehicles you do own lose so much resale value that you might as well have leased a new car every 2-3 years. Older cars also need to be maintained, get new tires, oil changes etc. The costs add up eventually. Of course some cars are collectibles and could gain value but those are rare. As I said I prefer buying cars but am questioning if that makes sense with all the new tech constantly coming out. When you own a car you are stuck with the older technology until you sell and upgrade. But you might end up spending more money in the long run doing it this way vs just leasing the car. And with a lease you always have the latest and greatest. I agree though that you can personalize a car as you please if you own it. That's one of the pros of owning a car. And owning a car for a long time has sentimental value. It has a history that you share. [/QUOTE]
