Going off topic here, but I’m kinda new to this country…

Lease or purchase a used car 5-7 years old?

New York heck just borrow one but don't take it back .

NY Giants are in TROUBLE!

Is the scrimmage Thursday? Assume so since they’re probably not in full pads yet?

They have some sort of scrimmage thing that is set up for Thursday….. not really for sure what that entails until it happens. I heard that HB had a good day yesterday but JM looks like he is on another level…. We will see if that holds true as practice goes on.

Used car prices are skyrocketing because of the low inventory of new vehicles. That's pushed more buyers to used. Manufacturers did not maintain normal supply due to COVID/economic downturn expectations, so are taking awhile catching up when that did not materialize. Dealers are begging for used cars and paying well above book - which gets passed to the buyers. So if you believe this is a long term situation, you buy used with Toyota, Honda, etc. as Jackcrevol posted. Their values/pricing are amazing now. If you are financing the purchase, the used car interest rates are unlikely to be much lower than they are today. If you can manage the mileage limitations on a lease, you are also getting the benefit of lower interest rate calculations in the lease rate.

FWIW I have a friend with a low mileage 2016 Toyota Tacoma Limited. The dealer called him last week and offered him what he paid for it 5 years ago. It's that crazy.

IMO it comes back to the current situation being long term or not in your estimation.

Used cars saw a huge increase in value due to the chip shortage. I’m not sure what your finances are, but used is generally always a good idea but you’re looking at a pretty used up vehicle at that point. I wonder what the prices of the new models this year will be once they finish building them and they have to turn around and sell them to make room for nee model

Gable Steveson gets his gold. Dake rebounds to bronze. Snyder runs through the bracket and we're getting the American Snyder vs the Russian Sadulaev in the finals.

There's also a chip shortage

Dave Ramsey calls a lease a "fleece."

Man I like Calvin Johnson. Best WR to ever play but got stuck at one of the worst organizations. The Lions deprived all of us of what should have been the greatest WR career ever.

That distinction belongs to Jerry Rice-----all others are just pretenders

 

[Vols4us]

I could be wrong and frequently am, but I just don't see the 6-6 or less viewpoint on this season. Most of the SEC has not played against UCF when Heup was HC or even that type scheme much. They can plan for it, but they don't have experience going against it. Taking that scheme with upgraded talent at virtually every position tells me we should expect better than what we have seen over the past 4 years. I believe Banks and the D-staff are a serious upgrade. I think all position groups will actually be better. We have strong teachers/developers of talent now who have created the right atmosphere and team chemistry. Due to the design of the system, there's less thinking on the field in all position groups on the team on both sides of the ball, except QB. The talent at that position is really good now.

I stole some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day.

I am totally addicted to these puns.

If Milton is on another level from HB, we are going to be very, very good on offense.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

On a more serious note, my girlfriend is planning to go to UT for grad school in december. Obviously I’m not staying behind in SC. What job prospects are there around Knoxville for a 25 year old with a BA in History he doesn’t use? Lol

Apply for the next FAA bid to be an air traffic controller.

Lease is wasteful iyam. Always buy, Toyota or Honda. Some Toyota's are increasing in value.

If you can get a dealer or private seller to give you a deal on a Lexus SUV. Smart buy with V8. It's rhe US version of Landcruiser, greatest vehicle ever made.

Will also help my stock.

The Ford electric stuff is intriguing

I'd add that Kia/Hyundai are also worth looking at. They are in the old school GMC realm where they are simple to work on, plenty of parts that are used among many models and also priced extremely competitively.

Nissan has fallen imo with their transmissions being so bad the last decade or so.

Agree. I'm a big fan of Hyundai products.

Not to mention Nissan has always had the ugliest interiors of any car manufacturer.

I traded an Optima about a year ago. It was a 2013, great car.

The one other side of leasing is that when its time to turn it in if you don't have any money to put down to purchase another car you want have any equity at all. If you can purchase with these low rates that is what I would do. At least you would have some trade trade value and even that depends on what car you purchase. Make sure they hold their value and you not paying for pensions. lol

We will see if that holds true once decision making and things like that start coming into play.

The absolute worst. I have no issues saying I HATE his stuff.
