Your last post was about 5 months ago…in line with when you got the car, what changed?
You are trying to get out a the lease at the worst time. All 3rd party buyers have stopped purchases and your captive doesn’t allow for a transfer.
If there’s nothing wrong with the car, I’d just live with it (currently have a same vehicle and love it) can’t be that bad then throwing money down the drain.
That’ll make the numbers easier to digest… but how do the creature comforts in a Mazda/Toyota compare? Just wondering as I haven’t compared both in awhile…
We still have one car that I hate. We’ve had it for over five years, but it costs us almost nothing to own so I’m not very motivated to do anything about it.
Your ongoing costs are low. Enjoy that part of it until the depreciation curve flattens out and you can make a move without shedding thousands of dollars.
Thanks for the info all. I’ll just hold onto it then if I have no options. I told my dealer that I didn’t like the car literally a day after getting it. They said I was out of luck. I took it out on a rainy test drive and didn’t know how lousy the power was til the next day, and the drivers seat bottom is very uncomfortable to me. I bought an amazon seat bottom which is a little better.
