[saftey]

did you lease most of thoose?

 

[compuwiz1]

did you lease most of thoose?

Nope, just 3...guess which ones.

 

[saftey]

00 Ford Mustang GT
01 Mercury Mountaineer
01 Lincoln Navigator?

 

[compuwiz1]

94 Q45 - Lease 0.0 Lease rate
97 F-150 - Lease 1.9 Lease rate
01 Mountaineer - Lease 2.9% lease rate.

Q45 was 3 year lease, rest were / are 2 year.

Always in warranty, never have long term obligation.

I figure, I have had car payments all my life, so really leasing what depreciates is a good idea, while saving long term purchases for things that appreciate.

Saftey - here is a link with pictures and features listed to the 1967 Buick Electra

Buick Electra

This car was a land yacht! 360 horses - gobs of torque - grotesquely mushy ride in a chrome and steel behemoth. Detroit's finest -
Dad bought it in a sickly "flesh" color not commonly available today. It had a trunk big enough to hold a honda civic, and the car literally weighed a ton. the doors were 8 inches thick and you had to be superman to open and close them. It was a classic rust magnet.

i remember the air conditioner because it was so powerful that the chrome dashboard vents would frost up if you ran it on high (absolutely no safety features - the dash had miles of chrome and metal in it. if you hit the dash in an accident you were toast)

this was the flagship car of the Buick division - had a "Wildcat" engine with 360 horses, mpg was single digit (gas cost 25 cents/galloon back then so who cared!)

what a great f#cking car - a living dinosaur.

 

[Linflas]

1960 Volkswagen Beetle
1965 Dodge Polara station wagon
1965 Datsun 1600
1972 Dodge Charger
1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle
1982 Dodge Charger 2.2
1987 Dodge Shadow 2.2 Turbo
1990 Subaru Legacy Wagon
1995 Ford Windstar

The Datsun 1600 belonged to a friend of mine and was a real fun car. It was a Japanese knockoff of the British type sports car.

1994 Chrysler LeBaron convertible

Of the lot, the '84 Sentra was the biggest POS, followed by the Cougar. The Chevelle was a blast to drive. When my lease is up on the Dakota I think I will buy another convertible then get a used pickup to do the hauling work around the house.
