Little disappointed it wasn't an MX3. Lil 1.8 V6 was entertaining back in the day.

What happened to the Golf? And the Geo or whatever it was? Dude you must change cars like every 6 months.

It was a lease.....I sold it to CarMax (yeah I know) and they gave me 1900 bucks more than I owed on it after 15 months of driving it. I put 995 out of pocket on it and it was 200 a month lease.

This Mazda was 999 down and 199 a month. So...I sold the Golf, put the 995 down, kept the same payment and bought 3 sets of race tires with the 900.

I sell cars when it's profitable. You just have to know when to sell and be forceful at what cost the cost vehicle needs to be.

OK......just sounds like a lot of money for the priveledge of always having new cars........You spent 200 x 15 = 3,000 plus the 995 out of pocket. Yeah you got 900 profit from selling it, but you still spent over 3,000 for 15 months of driving....

Seems like you could have bought a 2 year old used Golf, which would have only depreciated 1-2K over that same amount of time, if you negotiated right.

Cuz I like telling people what to do

Shoulda kept the Golf anyway.....Mazda 3 seats have no lumbar support last I remember

That is only 14 months since the first month comes out of the down payment.


Two hundred bucks a month for a car you have to do nothing to until you get rid of it is pretty cheap. You do this over 5 years and you're paying 12k, but getting a new car every 1.5 years. You actually make out better unless you keep the vehicle for at least a few years after it's paid off, but who wants a car for 7 years.

Since these hold there value well, how much do you think I could have bought a 1-2 year old used one for? Then sold it for after 1.5 years? More than 2k?
