Gah, I just bought the stuff to change the oil myself. I really should take it to the dealer so there's better documentation. I record everything I do to all the cars, but I know it needs to be on the fax. We're not going to off the Volt anytime soon, but I know it's going to happen within 5 years.
In 5 years it'll be worth 5-7k I don't think it'll matter what you do to it.
True.

I still enjoy commuting in it. It's been my primary car for months now, zero interest in getting rid of it.

At first I thought... wow with the hemi... you just undo that hideous front end and throw those wheels into the scrap yard and you're good. But it is just a bunch of :disgust: fake news inside that thing. Holy fuckballs.

You got 3 vehicles to keep you entertained. Why get rid of it? If you get tired switch to the :truk: when tired of that the plastic fantastic, when tired of that back to the civic lookalike for derping.

Is a used Macan out of the price range? There's an SQ5 thing out there but I don't know how old or price either. Maybe an epic lease :dill: takeover for two yrs until you settle on the next :plac:

:doit:
How does a lease take over work,??

Depends, usually there is a turn in fee. ~$350, and you're responsible for excess damages. There are different rules by manufacturer.

They're not even nice cars. :sad:

My guess is that taxes and real estate are too high for real car ownership :iono:

Why? plenty of them are at ~3xx a month. The question is why is someone trying to get out of a 3xx monthly payment. How poor can you be? That's cheaper than most buyhere pay here lots.

I rarely drive the truck anymore, :tits: drives it mostly. I thought about leasing another :truk: , but meh. I'll just keep the Volt because I prefer commuting in it.

I see offers for cheap leases but they include high due at signing amounts.

Or are you referring to that site specifically?

I just looked through that site. If the vehicle is coming from a private party, you can negotiate as the "money down" is to them not to the vehicle manufacturer. For example Peter Poon paid me $2600 to take over the M3 lease.

You got paid to take over the lease. Trying to wrap my head around this
