Isn't true at all. No reason you can't sell a leased vehicle if you have equity. Going through this now on our 2018 Lexus RXL. We have about 6 lease payments left, but still have over $5k in equity.
OP- obviously you know the lease quote is crap. You need to negotiate the selling price just...
Another way to look at it is you lose 3% of your engine's horsepower or torque if you prefer, per 1k feet of elevation due to the less dense air. At a mile high plus, you're down 20%.
What I notice is worse mpg on 85 because the transmission spends less time in 8th gear when I'm in the...
Deductions and tax credits are ways each individual keeps more of the money they earned. Your neighbors don't pay for your tax deductions/ credits. There is no money transfered from the Treasury that wasn't paid by the individual. Yes, there is a reduction in tax revenue, but that is the case...
Here's a basic deal using US News lease calculator.
Gladiator Price $46,000 MSRP, negotiate to $42,000
Down Payment $0
Residual Value 73% for 36 mo 10k/ yr, $33,850
This is the value of the car at the end of the lease
Estimated Sales Tax 5% but your's may be different
Estimated Interest Rate 3%...
There's a bunch more to it than just your payment.
What's the dealer discount? Incentives? Selling price? Money Factor (MF)?
The Risidual Value (RV) is a percentage that represents the lease end value (example: 67% RV means the value the bank assigns at lease end is 67% of the MSRP). It is set...
Sorry, I've sidetracked the thread. My point was heated seats are an option, so they're already running power to the seats. No reason they can't also be cooled.
Just to clarify, most stand-alone seat heaters use heating elements which are much cheaper than a Thermo-Electric exchange. A few...
You're completely missing the point and your point is nonsense. According to Energy.gov, about 75% of all automotive trips are less than 10 miles. Even assuming these are round trips, that means about 75% of all trips could be done on electric alone, or these trips can be done in hybrid mode...
It's BS. They've got heated seats as on option which obviously require electricity. "Cooled" seats are the same, just reversing the process (Peltier Effect).
Cooled seats and auto up windows at the top of my list. Seriously Jeep, it's 2021, a Carolla comes with auto up windows. How is it that Jeep can't figure out how to get these past the risk guys. Not sure if it's an FCA thing (I know FCA no longer exist), but I haven't owned a car in the last 20...
I never understand these arguments. You want a deep analysis of the end to end impact and cost on the electrical side and completely ignore the gas side. What's the long term impact of our current oil extraction methods? How much does each of us pay in taxes every year for our military to...
