    im going to start leasing my cars from now on because i love them too much to stick to one old car ive had my a3 for 2 years and i want to buy a cayman now so i will have to take a loss on my car. buying is very good though if you plan on sticking with a car for over 8 years but this seems to be more for older peoples who’s income wont increase or are not interested in the newest cars.
