My Ideal Car

My idea car would be a car that will last a long time, long enough to at least out live its depreciation value. Sometimes I wrestle with the idea of leasing a car or owning a car, but both seem equally as risky. When leasing a car I would not have to pay as much per month as owning a car. Another reason is that I could always bring the car back and trade it in for a newer car of my choice at the end of the lease. The downside to leasing is that if you go over the set number of miles for the leasing time or bring the car back with even a minor damage the leasing company will heavily charge you. The good part about owning a car is, you own it. The downside is that you pay a higher monthly fee and you lose money for the cars depriciation. My ideal car would have to be a Mercedes-Benz because it last a long time, or atleast longer than its deprciation value, it has a great miles per gallon ratio, and it is very easy on the eyes.

Mercedes? Oh boy... Somebody must have a big bank account. I agree with you, dude. Our dads both have the same Mercedes and they're awesome cars... Smooth ride, there's never really been a problem with it because it was built so well, and it's *&$%ing sexy, ya dig? Good choice.

Wombie you know leasing a car is no good. You are going to do something to it and then Done. (YOU'LL have to pay for the whole thing). Just buy a new one or steal it from Matt B since he has the car you want. And "tuesday" i think that the bugatti veyron is a little better than mercedes. So i would go for the bugatti. Good stuff wombie keep it up. HAHA

Yeah, well, my dad owns a Dodge 1500, but the concept of owning your own car is still economically sound. Owning a car also means that you don't need to limit the amount of miles you drive.
