It’s an old guy thing. I, a fellow old guy, have the same issue. 1 more year to go on a 4 year “smart buy”. My tires are almost shot with 19K on it. I would like to sell the car at the end of the lease. The final balloon payment is 15K. Should be worth that at least 12 months from now. Someone is going to get a great deal. I’d rather sell it than give it back.
