Same here. I didn’t own a new car until my 50’s. It lasted until 10 years after I retired. I lease my new car for 380/month for three years with option to buy at the end of that time when I will be 73.
I don't know about you, but at my age, I find leasing gives me piece of mind. I have the maintenance plan on the lease, so the only thing I end up paying for, is $10 a year for NY State's required inspection.
“I lease my new car for 380/month for three years with option to buy at the end of that time when I will be 73.”
Given the complexity of today’s vehicles, good plan.
At 73, give it back to them and find a new one to lease.
