That must be a wholesale bare bones trade in value, or the car had massive mileage or something though, you won't find it on a lot for that.

Not sure I would want to "own" a steadily depreciating asset. Own it when you get it at a realistic price. If you buy new, you're going to want to keep it for a decade to make the numbers work, not good for people who get bored.

I told myself my last car was going to be the keeper, but I got a little bored and wowed by new tech. Now I tell myself the current car will be the keeper. Maybe this time?

Fixed running costs, cheaper than owning, scratches my CCBA itch. Check, check, check.
Not for everyone, but certainly has eliminated my desire to own anything except my ZHP, which isn’t a DD

I just look at it as making a big down payment, and financing for 3 years. With the DP deferred until the end! And if you decide not to make the DP, you can just “sell” it for what you have in it, and walk away.

I own 2 of our vehicles and lease 1. My wife and I each do a lot of driving (close to or over 20K miles per year). The leasing works for us because it fixes our depreciation costs. I took out a 2 year/15K mile per year lease on my truck. I'm going to most likely hit 15,000 miles soon (with 5 months to go). Yes I'm planning on getting hit with an over mileage charge at the end of the lease.
Some of the lease deals out there are sick. The deals are ONLY good if you like the car. Remember, you still have to live with it & drive it for 2 - 3 years. Besides my Tacoma & @corvette's Tundra, @qbrozen got a phenomenal deal on his wife's X2, @tjc78 is happy as a clam with his Volvo S60 just to name a few deals.
Our Pilot is a vehicle that has traditionally held it's value well. At the time we bought, the lease program wasn't all that great (it is MUCH better now).
I'm sure at some point residuals will take a big hit and I'll have to re-evaluate my position. I'm also very interested in owning a Tesla at some point as they seem to hold their value better than comparable vehicles in their class.

So if you buy or lease a vehicle, you should make sure that you actually like it BEFORE you lease or buy it?

Had that happen with a guy who leased a Jaguar F-Type. Shopped for quite a while before scoring an absolutely killer lease deal.
He came back onto the forums a month or so later, complaining that his car wasn't fast enough.

When did @roadburner lease a Jag?

I did that with the 2017 Elantra. It was the cheapest just first payment DAS in the segment so that’s what I got. It wasn’t driven enough to warrant any additional expense.

When I traded in the E-GT for the Jetta two months early, the VW dealer cut me a really good deal, given that the Hyundai was over miles, had two payments left, and had a damaged bumper. I could have gotten another Hyundai, or a Toyota, or a Honda, but I liked the VW the best, and the good lease deal was icing on the cake.

Waiting two extra months really wasn't going to save me that much money - maybe $10-12/month. The Jetta had some good lease programs and incentives at the time, so the net payment on it was only a few dollars a month higher.
I didn't "terminate" the lease, I traded it in. The dealer closed out the lease, and I suspect they may have lost money on the transaction, based on what the car was worth when they priced it for resale. But, not my problem.

Cars age a lot better than during the malaise era, too. To paraphrase a saying, a 3 year old car today is better than a new car x years ago.

Am I the only one that finds this M2 overpriced by a few K? @roadburner (putting aside you don't care for the double clutch transmission)?

107s are undervalued in NA, they fetch a lot more in Europe. Those early two tone cars are interesting, the one that seller has listed is quite pretty, and notice the weak bids. The market likes those a bit less than that particular spec of R129, it seems only the best 560SLs bring big money - I like the early cars, no finicky emissions, small bumpers, the pure design.

High end trucks just don't seem to be their market.
They do have 1 Platinum for sale, but I'm guessing someone just wanted out of it.
All the others are XL or XLT models.

Back around 2003 or so when I was had a W126 as a DD, I found a late (89 I think) 560SL in the same color combo as my car, DB355 Diamond Blue on grey. Nice 70K mile car, probably could have got it for no more than 14K. But with one hobby car as it is, a third mouth to feed is hard to justify.
Things from his site I like:
This is pretty awesome, knock em out at Radwood
I always liked this two tone
He even has a fintail, a lot of these were sold in SA
One of these replaced my W126, I had the same two tone interior
Another subtle but perfect color combo
