Hey Trtma….Bought anything yet ?

New SQ5 really looks the goods.. easier to own than a Macan.. no air suspension is a bummer..

Yes. Decided to go electric so bought an EQA with Plus pack.

SQ5 looks interesting but I don't particularly like Audis.

Took delivery of a ‘25 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Premium N-Line earlier this week. Very impressed having spent some time behind the wheel over the last few days.

I would like a new car.

Dont drive much - 10 year old car and only 18000km.

What fuel?. DinoJuiceᵀᴹ or Electric?
Do you have garage or off street parking?
How much moolah are you spending

Or dont buy car just rideshare

I continue to favour the P3 , swish Swedish design and drives really well...but so bug ridden it cannot be considered atm.
The company may not survive.. p4 with no back window…insane.

I have a Smart #1 on loan while our cars is in the body shop and I must say I'm quite impressed with it. Would never have drivben one before this. Quite good range, very quick, distronic cruise, etc. Small boot but quiet and quite comfortable.

. No charging in my car park.

Don't get Electric.

Can't go wrong with Toyota Corolla

Not sure if this should go in the humour thread.

My current lease contract ends in October, so I need to decide between giving the car back of buying it out.
Probably going with the former, but not sure what to do about a new vehicle.

Leasing has made life simpler but I'm not convinced it saved us much money, while fully financing a new ride isn't all that appealing either.

so I need to decide between giving the car back of buying it out.

Is the residual value more or less than market value?

 

[GarrettM]

Is the residual value more or less than market value?

It'll be less, which I presume is theoretically beneficial. I'd have to manage it through a loan or some other means though.
Not the sort of money I have laying around unfortunately.

 

[Quickstatus]

It'll be less

If what you owe is less than the market value. I would sell the car then pay the remainder of the lease.

Assuming the lease allows you to sell the car

I hadn't considered that possibility but I will look into it.

Thanks!

If the final payment is due by a certain date in the near future you may have to pay out the finance then sell the car later but as yours is in October you have time to sell the car.

Alternative if no free cash around to pay remainder of lease you can get a car loan for the residual amount and then keep the car. Keeping the car is the most cost effective if the car value is more than the residual amount owing.
