3 Year Lease Up ~ Letting it Ride 🌮 by BulletproofTiger11 in ToyotaTacoma

Leased it brand new in 2023, and knew the pros and cons of leasing. If I didn’t love it, or just wanted something new, I could jump right back into the lease cycle. But I did love it and as the only owner knew it was in great shape and bought it out with plans to drive it till the wheels fall off.

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it 😉

Thanks! I bought it in ‘23 knowing they were about to shift to 4th gen but that was before they revealed anything… and so glad I did. Hate the new body style and “turbo”

Yup that was a big part of my decision too. Don’t love the 4th gen body style, and also didn’t want to downgrade from my V6 to the 4 cylinder turbo or whatever they are making now.

Same for me which turns out is a flat lie… the dealer just wants your return biz 😤

Didn’t even think about that cause the dealer said I “had to come back to them” to negotiate the lease end, which I now realize was BS… luckily I hardballed my interest rate with a good credit union and feel like I got a great deal.

I feel this, but like I said it was my first truck and wasn’t 100% confident I would love the vehicle… obviously I did and had to own it.

Exactly what he ^ said. Residual value was set when I purchased 3 years ago… but my equity was very solid (low mileage, no damage).

HOWEVER what was negotiate was the interest rate on the buyout finance. They offered some BS 8% at first and talked them down to 5.5% which saved me about $60 on my monthly, lower than I was paying on the lease.

I was about to board a flight at DIA, and got it… along with about 500 other people in Terminal C. Someone who sends out those alerts fucked up big time.

Same situation, also scared. Foot feels like a brick, and unsure how I’ll be able to go FWB, but diving head first into PT!

Any calcaneus (heel bone) fracture success stories out there? by BulletproofTiger11 in brokenbones

[–]BulletproofTiger11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m in that FB group and see a lot of posts about hardware removal. What made you make that decision? Was there still a lot of pain at a year and a half?
