Actually I think it all depends on how long one keeps a vehicle for. If you plan on keeping the vehicle 2-3 years then leasing is actually a smarter option whereas if you keep it for 5+ years buying is the way to go.

A Tahoe is a downgrade IMO from a Escalade. Why would you like driving something more basic? :shrug:

judging from his order form I'm willing to bet his 13 tahoe has more on it than his 08 EXT Esky did.

Hmm...

Well I suppose that is correct.

But I was thinking about stuff like HIDs etc.

I can buy the truck in Cash but wouldnt, Cars lose value quicker then a pregnant ******, I would rather lease a Truck abnd every 3 years get a brand new one, I never keep a car more then 3 years so it makes no sense to buy it and then lose money on selling it, Id rather lease and have the dealer worry about the value at the end, I bought my Escalade and couldnt wait to sell it because after 4 years i was sick and tired of having the same car.

To say people who cant afford the car, lease it is the stupidest thing i ever heard.

of course! EVERYone on the internet can buy $60K liabilities in discretionary cash, but choose to lease instead.

i'm not picking on you, but just using you as an example -

unless you have a business that justifies it, leasing is a loser style buying prop . the bank OWNS u.

Except for projector headlights with factory HID's, led tails/3rd brake light, 8" factory nav screen, 6.2L/403hp engine, and upgraded nuance leather seats :)

I drove an escalade for 4 years, and before that for 8 years with 4 differnt models, it was time for a change since every year i hear NEW ESCALADE comming out, and again they dont have a prototype at the auto show thius year, which means prob no new escalade till 2015. I almost got a corvette instead of the Tahoe anyways But went for better judgement.

I do own my own business and Its smarter for me to lease then to buy, you cant buy a car and sell it 36 month later without lossing a SHIT load more then leasing.
