Oral Surgeon, and wife a doctor but in residency.
But I would imagine most are not buying these cars, they are being leased, no?

I'm financing but seeing the other responses in this thread makes me wonder if this is the wisest decision for me. I just can't wrap my head around leasing though, I like the idea of something being mine, and I commit to things for quite some time. Oh well, it's in my budget and I feel like this can be one way to treat myself for finishing residency . Good luck to your wife

I am a 39 year old middle aged sole provider of a family of 5 with 3 multi million dollar businesses and in pretty hefty debts that would possibly overwhelm a lot of people. I trade crypto and securities on the side. Debts inspire me to work hard and keep strong.

Usually sleep in, make a nice breakfast. Read the (hard copy) newspaper and finish a pot of coffee, then spend an hour correcting the internet. Hit the gym. Teach one class per semester at a local law school.

So not much.

I've leased the last 10 cars or so. This time around I financed. The numbers are no longer significantly different. This way I don't have to deal with excess miles when trade in, not that it's a big deal. Many still do lease because they can put one car on their business.

So your the guy that's a pain in the butt in purchasing, asking for discounts to justify your position? /s

I'm the guy at the other side of the table trying to sell you stuff. Not necessarily med devices, but sometimes to med device mfgs.

Right, I don't see the appeal in leasing unless I knew for sure I'm keeping it for only 2-3 years.
