Tires look a little dicey for any high speed tests.

Tomorrow I might find out something more about my new job at Enterprise. The hiring lady returns from her vacation and most likely, she'll hear my voicemail from a week ago. At this point, would be very happy to even start at the beginning of the year to be honest. We're having our drivers lunch this coming Wednesday and if history repeats itself, we should be getting some kind of gift with a $25 gift card inside from the head lady of Hertz in Estero Florida. Guess we had a very good year last year as that was the first time we drivers got anything at the holidays. Thought it was a nice gesture to be honest as I spent mine on a few nice lunches at work. Wouldn't turn down another one if it came this year.
So hoping to hear something tomorrow or Tuesday. I left a voicemail with the HR lady and the guy who interviewed me and think that's enough to be honest. I'll be unhappy if they rescind their offer, very unhappy, but I've still got the Hertz gig and will be happy to stay. Just the prospect of driving less miles eventually was looking very nice. Even if I have to work a fourth day near the house, the less driving each way would be a good thing. Working almost 40 hours last week just showed me how much I really do not want to do that every week! I can see doing it once or twice a month but not every week. The extra income does not make up for how tired I was by Friday and how draggy I was yesterday and today.

Of course, in that light (overcast still from the rain that had just stopped) she then decided she wasn't sure about the blue! I can't win.

I got two calls today, and another letter (must be like the 4th letter) saying I owe them $350 for the key the dealership lost

but I liked the way they disclosed exactly what happened, and had all the paperwork to prove it, and that it still has full warranty. So most likely in terms of what you are getting, it is a perfectly fine car no different than any other one. For the right price to keep it for a long time, might be OK.

my guess is the buyer raised holy heck and had some sort of pull and they agreed to swap out the car instead. Then just fixed it and resold it.
or there could be more to the story, but if they are keeping the warranty in place, can't be too bad!

Terms aren't as generous as they used to be. But, since it lowers the payment, the returns are "after-tax".
Depending on the deal, the return could be 7%-15% APR on the amount of the deposit.

And they still make money on the interest you pay, so its not like they are LOSING money, they just aren't making as much off of certain individuals as they could.

How are they doing leases these days? My feeling is no out of pocket to do a lease. Is that still the way they do them?
I'm thinking the next car I get will get me to retirement, and I don't know what I'll want by then.
It's funny you say that ... I've been leasing, off and on, for 20 years. Now that my cars are paid off, I can't get my mind around leasing again. Ideally, I'd like to find something relatively inexpensive for my next car, and pay cash.
But, I don't need a car of my own, at the moment. I've been driving the Outback since I turned in the Jetta in August, and I'm only putting a few hundred miles a month on it.

Mine will be cheaper. So could be a ultra cheap lease, or keep the RDX. Or buy something. Might do that so I can amuse myself flipping cars at will! Just on a much cheaper scale than Breld.

I don't know if it was the surroundings or what, but that grey over black was just a total downer.
It's a win for both parties.

if you don't do more than 10K/year it is especially good. still should not need tires, and the rates are good.
good point about the clutch. just be careful, if he kills it, could be on your dime. so time it to be the last month or 2 of the lease!

It was so hard to find an exclusionary extended warranty, but my dealer found a three year through Zurich. Amazing!

Going out of Hertz on a high note a what happens if I'm unhappy in a month or two? Need that flexibility to go back to Hertz if necessary. Doubt that'll be the case though.And that's that! Have the office lunch tomorrow so it'll be somewhat sad but, exciting to for some new adventure.
Also, did the paperwork for The Neptune Society. Not that bad and pretty much a steal when one passes on. I call the shots on that now, and though creeped out, the wife and oldest will be following my directives they've assured me.

This was all triggered by meeting with my financial advisor last week. I saw my withdrawals for all the cars I’ve bought in the last 5 or so years, and was pretty shocked. I had a number in my mind that I had spent. The numbers on paper far exceeded the ones in my head.
I’m figuring a lease may mitigate some of that, especially if I don’t know what I really want (I don’t). Right now, I’m pretty stuck on just rolling up mileage on my TLX until something really floats my boat. If I do that, it will be the first car I’ve owned that was out of warranty (with the exception of the Cobra) in well over a decade.
