I drive a 12-year old car right now  Thanks for the layout on the benefits of leasing though. There are aspects there I didn't realize. Also, if you are a business you can depreciate the asset on the lease over the years and somehow that helps you in a way I don't loving understand.

trouser chili posted:I drive a 12-year old car right now It Accounting Magic. If you want an asset on your books that you can depreciate, you buy. If you want the use of something that you want to count as an expense (and theortically lower your tax burden) you lease. Throatwarbler, what you are wrong about is assuming a lease is the best option in every case, and that's simply not true. It depends heavily on what your values and financial goals are. Anyway, derail over. Doctor Zero fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Nov 20, 2009 |

Ah, ok thanks guys. I'm pretty much on the buying side of the house here. The accountants tell me when I should lease and when I should buy. I tried to understand and got it wrong.

Holy poo poo. I certainly did not intend to kick off a page-and-a-half debate on the merits of leasing versus purchasing a car. I think most of us can agree that barring some unusual circumstance, paying 485$ a month for a Scion is fairly exorbitant no matter the financial arrangement. Here is some actual Craigslist gold: http://ocala.craigslist.org/ctd/1474342208.html 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220SE 220 SE PONTON Convertible - $149000 Cpaka fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Nov 20, 2009 |

Oh man, I thought that thing was actually in Ocala. Too bad it's all the way over in Pompano Beach, I would have gone to ogle it. You would think there are better places to advertise an immaculate 50 year old Benz than the lowly craigslist.

This seems a little sus to me. Does this seem sus to you? 1991 BMW 750il V-12 - $500 (reno) This is the final price no deals Engine in great condition I have the whole car, but no title. Lost keys, but the car does run you would have to file for lost title and find out who last owners were This car is for someone who has the time and money to put into it or has the same car and can use as parts. 105,000 miles on it.  And just to annoy someone who thinks they might have been able to rehab it: 86' BMW 325es For Sale ASAP-CHEAP!!! - $400 Must get rid of my car ASAP!!!!! 1986' BMW 325es 2door, power windows, and sunroof, white. Ill be having it towed in for parts by noon on Sat....it DOES run and its a good car that has been in my family only. It DOES need work: hose's and suspension work is needed as well as some small cosmetic repair to crack in windshield and interior. Please if seriously interested call me first thing in the morning!! By noon ill just have the car picked up and delt with that way. ITs a good deal for someone just needing a car, and a fixer-uper!!! Please call first thing in the morning if interested!! Angela 775)770-1198 Any Reno goons, you've still got about three hours!

What's the best way to monitor multiple craigslists for good deals and get immediately alerted with an email or text message? I'm finding google reader just doesn't update RSS feeds quick enough, and manually hitting something like searchtempest.com is getting old. I've lost out on a couple deals by being an hour too late.

Not to mention neither of those are the minivan. And those are the shittiest-looking scissor doors I've ever seen. Why don't people understand that scissors only work when the doors are long and skinny, like on a real Lamborghini?

TL;DR: I want to sell my Dodge minivan so I can buy a GM engine to put into my Dodge truck so here are some pictures of a GM truck with rimz and lambo doors together with an unrelated picture of a scantily clad woman and a completely different vehicle.

Age, mileage, manufacturer, and condition are all unfortunate multipliers. When (X[A+Mi+Ma+C]* miles) would be an amount of tools over the weight or volume capacity of my main vehicle, the purchase car is then considered to be "out of range". man, I need a loving trailer then it would totally be ([X{A+Mi+Ma+C}* miles]/2)
