Really? A lease for a company car that the company is paying for isn't dependent on working for them? What magical world do you live in? LOL...

anything above and beyond what they give you for a car is up to us. We don't have to do it, we chose to do it. You don't seem to understand that. The benefit to us is that when the lease is up, we have the option to purchase it at a greatly reduced cost, much lower than wholesale, trade in, etc.

I actually do completely understand that it was your choice to select a vehicle that costs more than what they were offering. And that it was your choice to have the difference deducted from your salary or hourly wages.

All I'm saying is that I, personally, would not enter into the arrangement that you have. Since the employer is only paying for a small fraction of the vehicle (significantly less than 50% of the cost), I wouldn't be comfortable with their name being on the title instead of mine.

What if your employment is terminated sometime before the 4 years are up? They still own the vehicle, and all you're left with are deductions on your pay stubs. You have, potentially, invested more money in the car than your employer has, yet they still own it.

Anyway...like I said in my first post in this thread, the Explorer Sport is a really nice vehicle. I hope you enjoy it.
