Buying DVC is like buying a car

Plus, that one's mine...

Awesome ride. Cant decide if I want to get an old Jeep or one of those and turn it into a project or get a ATV/buggy. But that will have to be a project after I get this DVC stuff paid off

That looks like the hills of the So. Cal backcountry to me. Lots of views like that off to the sides of I-15 in the Corona, Temecula, etc. area. Not as many now, they have built a lot of homes where I used to put put around on my Yamaha enduro bike. Good memories.

Good eye. It's on the way up to Santiago Peak. Any Land Rover makes buying a boat seem like the wisest financial decision ever. There's also maybe $20k in mods on her too, besides the usual Rover headaches.

This is the best thread ever!

Sort of a used car. I have been leasing for a number of years now. The 3 year per month cost is usually cheaper because you are only financing part of the value. At the end of the lease you can give it back and get another. This time though, I bought the lease out so it was effectively used, though used by me the whole time. I have a Kia Niro PHEV. The newest model was basically no different in mileage or performance then mine, so I just kept it.

I had the pleasure in riding in one when they first came out. My Uber driver was using it and it was soooo comfy, and oddly quiet!!

Old Key West…just so spacious!

Or at least the equivalent to my certified used Toyota Sienna with AWD. Spacious, reliable, not too many bells and whistles.

We're in the same mode: (vehicle-wise)
I have leased since 2015 ('15 XC60/'17 XC90/'18 Terrain/'19 Enclave) - I bought the '19 Enclave at Lease-End because of its current resale value, and the fact that we don't like the 2022 models (No power fold 3rd row, and new push button gear shift).
& just leased a '22 Sierra 1500.

I'd liken our DVC to "Used Car", because we have never been the first to stay at a brand new resort.
(BLT & Riviera didn't really interest us), and most of the other resorts have some mileage on them.
But, so far, they are holding their resale value !
