Dave-S Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Not sure I think FORBES is that great of a source for car reviews, but for what it is worth here is their list of 15 cars to avoid which includes two Lincolns, one Caddy, one BMW and a smattering of other brands and models. http://www2.forbes.com/business/15-new-cars-to-avoid/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=gravity&utm_campaign=cars-to-avoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldwizard Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Anyone who really want to drive one of those 2 vehicles should lease it. The resale is TERRIBLE ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay for the depreciation with the lease, so your lease payment would just be higher. Isn't that the way leases work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the way leases work? Yes, unless the mfr decides to heavily subsidize the lease which seems to be common practice nowadays. I guess they figure it gives them an almost guaranteed repeat customer 2-3 years later and a nice used vehicle for the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
