Default Re: a very depressing day ...

Something to cheer you up.

If I was a betting man I'd say you probably drove that car for a resonable cost.

Typically, if a car has a high resale value the lease payment is lower. You are actually purchasing the depreciated value based on what the dealer thinks it will be worth at the end of the lease. For this reason, it is often marginally more expensive to lease a fully loaded top of the line model than that of lesser model.

In this case I doubt Chrysler anticipated that the re-sale market would fall out from under the Crossfire, and thus you drove that car much cheaper than someone who purchased theirs.

What will be your next flavour of the day?
