| Re: Question about leasing vs purchasing a CL 63
Thanks, guys, for your input. I've pretty much decided that I'll be leasing the CL63, and just use it as my tax deduction for business (I travel between hospitals). The GL is leased also, but MB Financial has no problem with me having two leases. With the damage the GL sustained after my dad's accident, it's value has depreciated significantly. Since I leased it, and have every intention of returning it at lease end, MB will take the hit, not I. In case you're wondering, the GL (which I got for my dad last year for Father's Day) was hit from behind by a Geo Tracker, which itself was hit from behind by a Ford F-150. Neither of my parents was hurt, but it cost $12,000 to fix and took 2 1/2 months. The whole driver's side rear panel had to be cut out and replaced. The repair is superb, and no one can tell this vehicle was ever damaged, but the fact remains it has depreciated because of it. This is what it looked like after the hit. |
