Thought this was odd: there's a dealership near me leasing a 69 FB.

Mark i seen that ad before they had that car for awhile.

Wow that would be great. Think you would treat it like a rental car???????????????

You could build 2 very nice numbers matching 400 cars for the principle and interest on that car.

That's the kicker. I imagine some would and would drive the hell out of it.

And I think it would be a worse idea to lease it especially if you took care of it. I imagine the dealership wouldn't factor in the appreciation in collectible value when the lessee returns it.

To me, leasing makes sense if you consider your car a utility. This here would be like renting a painting.

If you think about it, it's not a bad investment for the leasing company. They buy a car, as it's a "luxury" type of car they collect a significant down payment and big monthly payments. When the lease is up, they clean it up and touch it up, and end up with a car that has not depreciated significantly in value.

I am sure that if it was for lease, the contract would specify that any collision or mechanical repair would have to be done by their approved shop.

Hmmm, Dream Cruise rentals? Forget the summer cabin, rent or lease a summer car?

It's close enough to me too Its been on there awhile.Are you sure it can be leased? I realize they lease cars but they also sell them too. I wonder if that was a trade in on something that was in their inventory

In that case, between Vikki and I, we have 9 summer rentals.

Hmmm...

Gotta save one each to drive...

I already factored that into the number (insert rude comment here)

You really think someone will want to rent my classic '89 Plymouth? Maybe...I've seen worse out there.

A Detroit Crack Whore maybe..

As long as a "Detroit Crack Whore" does not own a 67-9 Firebird I am fine.

And by the way, "whore" is in the dictionary and is not offensive.

It would be weird driving someone elses first gen for anything more than a test drive. All the fun for me is driving my car that I restored. I would rather drive a Viper if it wasn't a car I re-created. Rent-a-wreck has been around for a while.....

dont think I`d rent mine out.....nor the wife, its almost the same thing....LOL

Right and I wouldn't rent someone elses wife. Well, maybe if I didn't already have one....

I think its a heck of a good idea. Vikki and Tom have the fleet to do it too
