They haven't fooled me into shit. One of my best friends is a car salesman, and I worked around car dealerships for a long time. I know how they get you, and I was not gotten.
At the time when I leased my current vehicle, my credit was shit and I didn't have a lot for a down payment. But, they got me approved, so I took it. Hower, I wasn't heartbroken that the lease was easier and cheaper for me to get. I love the fact that my truck has 16K miles on it and hasn't had an oil/filter change. I love the fact that I can just drive it and not care. Overall, I just draw great pleasure from the fact that I can "rent" a car, beat the piss out of it, and give it back.
Plus, I don't have to sell my car, hoping to get enough money for it to buy another.
I typically drive cars for 1 to 2 years before I move on to something else. If I buy a car outright or through loans, it's gonna be a collector or at least a classic. Being an ex-lowrider, I love the idea of getting a '72 Glasshouse and juicing it. A car like that is valuable in other ways than monetarily.
A 2002 car is shit from the start, and will only get worse. Cars today are built of the cheapest, easiest materials. Which often translates to plastic parts. I fancy a steel car. A sturdy car that can take a minor collision without $750 worth of damage.
