I am trying to find a place in NY where I can buy used tires. My wife's lease on her truck comes up soon and I want to return it with tires that have decent tread. Any help is appreciated.
 
Wow, one more reason NOT to lease. You have to return it with so much tread on the tires?? I've yet to understand how leasing is a good idea.

One statement comes to mind... No Negative equity. You'll never get stuck owing $10,000 on something that is only worth $2000.00 ;)



To the OP. You should be able to pick up a phone book and see any local listing. As far as I know you shouldn't have problems turning in a lease with wear on the tires. Unless it's extreamly excessive wear.

True, but you're paying on something you will never own. I guess if you have the money and you want a new car every ~3 years then it's the way to go. I don't get it, but obviously some people out there do or they wouldn't do it!



Good luck on the tires! Or tyres as they say across the pond.

I do like the idea of a new vehicle every three years. Another reason is that you are never out of warranty, and the way american cars are built it is not a good idea to be without a warranty. I am not putting down american products, besides my Bimmer that I own, I have a 1986 Mustang GT.
 
I dunno... Instead of leasing, you could buy the car, and then sell it after 3 years, and you would make more money than leasing the vehicle for 3 years. It's a no-brainer, unless you are using it for business purposes (tax deduction or something).

I do not agree. My wifes truck cost 42K. According to Kelley Blue book trade in value is $19K this makes my cost 23K. If I sell privately price is $21,750, making cost $20,250. My lease over the 3 years costs me $16,344 with nothing down. True I never own the vehicle but I think I am ahead of the game. This also does not take into consideration the interest I would loose taking the money from my bank account.
