Buy a car at the end of your lease.

You’ve come to the end of your lease and you like you car enough you want
to keep it in the driveway. Just like , there is some
research to be done to nail a good deal.

First, you need to know the cost of buying out your lease. Read the fine
print of your contract and look for the “ price”. This
price is set by the and usually comprises the residual
value of the car at the end of the lease plus a purchase-option fee
ranging from $300 to $500. When you signed on the dotted line, your
monthly payments were calculated as the difference between the vehicle’s
sticker price and its estimated value at the end of the lease, plus a
monthly financing fee. This estimated price of the at the end
of the lease is what is termed in leasing jargon “residual value”. It is
the expected – or loss in value – of the vehicle over the
scheduled-. For example, a car with a sticker price of
$40,000 and a 50% residual percentage will have an estimated $20,000
value at lease end.

Now that you know the cost of buying out your lease, you need to determine
the actual value, also termed “market value”, of your vehicle. So, how
much does your car retail for in the market? To pin down a good, solid
estimate you need to do some pricing research. Check the price of the
vehicle, with similar mileage and condition, with different dealers. Use
online pricing websites, such as Cars.com, .com and Kelly Blue Book
for detailed pricing information. Gleaning pricing information from various
sources should give you a fair estimate of your vehicle’s .

All you have to do now is compare the two amounts. If the residual value is
lower than the actual , than you’re into a winner.
Unfortunately, there is a a car coming off a lease is a little
on the high side.
Don’t despair though. Leasing companies know as much that
on their vehicles are greater than their market value and as such are
always on the look out for offers. You can knock down on the price of your
leased vehicle with some smooth negotiating tactics. Put forward a price
that is below your actual target and negotiate hard until you wind up near
that figure.

    You are right, but different cars can have widely different residual values even if the prices are the same. Cars that hold their resale values well, such as Honda, Lexus, BMW, are better to lease than cars with low future resale values, such as Kia, many Fords, many Chevrolets. Here's an article with more details:

    Most of us prefer buying used cars, but for different reasons. They are always cheaper. If we make the right choice, we can save a lot of money with the range of cars available. In addition, sometimes, we want a model that the manufacturer no longer produces, in this case, buying a used car is the best option as we can get the model that we require in used cars.

    I do not believe the items in the clearance aisle at my local Walmart are an additional 50% off. I have never been there when they made the announcement that it was, and the occasional item I pick up there has always been rung up at the sticker price. I dunno how likely it is for things to be different at different stores, so it can't hurt for you to ask there.

    No. The option price (at least fair value) is calculated usiing strike price, time value, volatility, interest rates. Obviously the option price is 'trying' to anticipate the underlying price.

    There is no such thing as a guaranteed investment. He's correct to say that if you sell a 'put' option and the price remains above that option price you win. However to say that if the price falls below the option price and you are obligated to buy the stock 'cheap' is also a win is wrong.This is not a win/win situation.The stock has fallen to a price below the option price for a reason! You're obligated to buy a falling stock which may continue to fall after you've bought, increasing your loss.

    I don't think this phenomena has much to do with the mechanical qualities of the machines in question. It's all about the branding. Harley did a really great job of making suburbanites (doctors/lawyers/other upper-class white people) think that owning a harley makes them part of a "tough-guy" crowd. Also, there's a certain nostalgia to owning out-dated technology, like a harley v-twin. Harley also produces Buell, but those don't retain their retail value nearly as well as the harley cruisers.

    Your understanding is incorrect. You pay for rent by the month, not the day, unless the lease specifically allows it. If the lease period ends at the end of the month then you need to give notice effective the end of the month. Unless your lease ends on the 13th of the month you can't just pick that day unless you're willing to pay for the entire month of December's rent.

    Is your name Hank Hill? LOL

    This reminds me of an episode from 'King of the Hill'…… whenever he would buy a car, the same dealer would treat him like a king and charge him sticker. So for 30 years he thought he was getting a "special" Hank Hill price which was nothing more than the sticker price. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    You definately should take someone who knows how to negotiate for you.

    "As is" absolves the seller of any further responsibility the second the ink dries on the sales contract. You can go back to dealer and argue all you want, they have no obligation to do anything.

    "People" usually don't know what they are talking about. People here on YA! will advise others that a 13 year old used car is covered under lemon laws. There's no 30-day implied warranty when buying a used car.
