my answer to those question are all "No". )
from the finance point of view, going to med school will take you roughly 10
years of time from now on. 2 yrs of preparation, 4 yrs of medical school
and 4 yrs of residency if everything goes smooth. tuition is minor cost in
your case, roughly even out with the salary of a resident. you will be

So, you can lease a kia rio @ 9000 apiece for 4 yrs (residual about 35% or
MSRP = 3500) and literally everything is covered by manufacture twice. The
cost would be about 11000. Bingo, Kia Rio is much better than your Camry ..

if you priced right, every car can be sold.
for some make/model, yet it will drop more than 50% from MSRP. Just a
illustration:
Cadillac lease residual is about 40% in 3 yrs.
Many BMWs lease residual is about 50-60% in 3 years and Benz/Volvo are lower.
Will your car price drop more than 50%?
-- That depends on how much you cut from MSRP when you buy the car. |

P***0
发帖数: 368 | 43 ha, that is exactly the point.
BMW is the top choice for lease because of the "high" residual, which is
only about 50-60% after 3 yrs. So, it is likely for some makes/models have
to sell below 50% of MSRP in 3 yrs, which answers LZ's question.

发帖数: 580 | 45 perhaps 23k is a fair price for a 3 yr car. If it is the bare minimum of
328i, it was sold at about 60% msrp, same as/similar to the lease-end
residual. If it comes with lots of options, it can be a great buy.
For cars at that age, you have 1 yr service, plus you may need to change the
tires. So the cost after your that year is pretty high ~2000 - 3000. So
is it still a good deal? I really doubt.

for comparison:
(1) leasing a 328i, best deal will be about 22% msrp for 3 yrs (36k mi) -- $
220 per month (msrp 34900), maintenance free;
(2) buying a malibu (msrp 23500), best deal will be about 17000 - 17500,
after 5 yrs /8w mi selling for 8000, monthly charge will be $150. add
additional (600 -tire, 90-battery, 250-oil change + 500 tune-up) = $175 per
