Re: Should I keep it? 850 1996

I've got mixed feelings.

One the one hand, you know the history of the car. You know how you maintained it.

On the other hand, you have already paid into this car for 5 yrs. What was your monthly lease payment? I guess somewhere between $350 to $400 per month. Now you are going to finance the balance of $14,500 for how long? Another 3-5 years? All of a sudden, it doesn't look so good.

Its kind of a trap you get into when you lease....it actually makes more sense in my book to go lease again.

Or try to negotiate the price on the lease buyout.

Not such an easy choice.

Good Luck

Mike
