So you leased your SUV rather than buying it? Turns out that was a smart move. For you!
What's gonna happen when folks start turning in these SUVs? We'll tell you: pain. These SUVs are just going to sit and rot because no one's gonna want these gas gobblers. Even if gasoline drops by 25% (ha!), folks have learned their lessons and we'll never again return to the days of the casual SUV owner.
Is your lease coming to an end? Gonna buy the vehicle or just give it back? What would it take for you to but it?

I've never thought about it, but apparently cars are the most recycled consumers items. On an average nearly 84 percent of a used car can be recycled.

Is that a very good idea. Well, it demands a second though I guess.

I wonder what the average percentage cost contribution of the powerplant in an SUV is (everything north of the flywheel and requisite for the functioning of the reciprocating engine block core components)?

Leases SUV

Its amazing I just stopped by a lot near my house and these behemoths are still listed for $40,000 (new), I cannot beleave people are still buying these things anywhere near this price. On the flip side I did notice the dealer had quite a few less then the last time I went car shopping.

SUV on rents is nice - but may be people like me would prefer owning the latest one. The only bad thing is reselling the old one makes me bankrupt

So glad mine is on a lease. Looking towards an Aptera (www.aptera.com) for the next vehicle. 300 mpg is crazy awesome.

I leased a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I'll be happy to turn in my 15 mpg toy October 2nd. I also hear Chrysler Financial is exiting the Lease business...

With that in mind, does anyone know how much of a car can be re-used or recycled? And what percentage of cars get recycled?
