> I recently got a job (boredom got to me… especially in winter), at a local Nissan dealership. Part of the pay plan includes a demo reimbursement if you sell X amount of cars so for shits and giggles I looked at leases and saw new GTRs. Holy fuck. How someone could pay $1800/month to lease a GTR for 2-3 years is insane. I can’t imagine the people wasting that money building no equity at all.

When the depreciation hit on a car you buy is close to your lease payment, it’s not a far jump to make.

That’s why a lot of people love leasing luxury cars and just trading them in for the new model once the lease runs out. You’re out practically the same money.

Edit: something something, having a loan/interest on a rapidly depreciating asset.
