what's going on guys so today I have a
[2]
pretty cool video for you I'm gonna be
[4]
breaking down the difference of buying a
[6]
car in cash taking a loan out on it and
[8]
leasing it now you might have heard
[11]
whatever you've already been taught now
[13]
I was taught okay you should take you
[16]
can take a loan out on a car but you
[17]
should never lease a car and you're
[19]
probably taught one way or the other a
[20]
lot of people are taught oh you can only
[22]
afford what you can buy in cash now
[24]
whatever you think just please stay
[27]
watch this video by the end I want to
[30]
change your mind now it's different
[31]
situations depending on what you're
[33]
buying and a bunch of different factors
[34]
which I'll break down in here but if
[36]
you're wondering why so many people with
[38]
so much money lease their cars I will
[41]
show you and it's probably not the
[42]
reason you think so stay to the end bear
[45]
with me here this is a pretty cool video
[46]
and it took me breaking it down to
[49]
understand it myself because of what I
[51]
was previously taught either whether
[52]
it's by parents or just seeing and not
[55]
knowing the full story cuz I break it
[57]
down and it looks like one options the
[59]
best but when you add in a couple other
[61]
factors that one's actually the worst so
[63]
let's just jump right into this so the
[65]
first thing before we start is we're
[68]
gonna assume this is one person who has
[70]
a car fund of five hundred thirty seven
[73]
thousand five hundred dollars which you
[74]
understand why it's that amount in a
[75]
minute the cost of the car they're
[78]
looking at is five hundred thousand
[79]
they'll own the car for two years and
[81]
they have a credit score of seven
[82]
hundred so I technically did this for
[85]
myself
[86]
but this is what we're looking at right
[88]
now so assume this is the same person
[90]
for all of these so the first thing is
[91]
if they buy the car in cash now what's
[94]
the best why why buy a car in cash well
[97]
you're not gonna have a car payment and
[98]
you're gonna pay no interest so a lot of
[100]
people think okay no interest it's gonna
[102]
cost me less so if I can buy the car in
[104]
cash that's what I want to do now what
[107]
are the negatives of buying a car in
[108]
cash you will have to pay sales tax on
[111]
it and you'll have five hundred this
[114]
should be five hundred thirty seven
[116]
thousand five hundred dollars because of
[119]
tax which you'll see SEC tied up in the
[121]
car which is an opportunity cost you
[123]
could be doing other things with that
[124]
money such as investing it now the car
[126]
price this is for buying it in cash is
[128]
five hundred thousand dollars in
[130]
California again I did this for me and
[132]
wonder
[132]
with you the tax is seven and a half
[135]
percent if you're buying a car now I
[137]
know there's other loopholes like
[138]
Montana license plate you can register
[140]
it there and not pay sales tax and drive
[142]
it wherever you want and it's legal that
[144]
way so there are things like that taking
[146]
consideration we're gonna pretend we
[148]
don't know that though that's not a lot
[149]
of people know that
[150]
so 37,500 impacts so our total out of
[155]
our pocket is we're putting five hundred
[156]
thirty seven thousand five hundred
[158]
dollars into this car because we're not
[160]
taking any money out we're not taking a
[162]
loan not financing anything and we're
[164]
gonna assume we'll be able to sell this
[166]
car for four hundred fifty thousand
[168]
dollars in two years so our total cost
[171]
over two years if we're buying it in
[172]
cash we don't pay any an interest we
[174]
lost our money in tax for the car and
[177]
then we lost fifty thousand depreciation
[179]
so our total cost to own this car for
[181]
two years was eighty seven thousand five
[183]
hundred not another video topic but it's
[186]
crazy to see that's how much it cost to
[187]
drive a five hundred thousand dollar car
[189]
for two years which might seem like a
[191]
lot but comparing it to a five hundred
[193]
thousand dollar car it's not too bad but
[195]
one thing to understand here is the
[197]
opportunity cost now I'll break this
[198]
down more at the end if you have trouble
[200]
understanding opportunity costs and I'll
[202]
make it make more sense than so stick
[204]
with me so opportunity cost we could
[206]
have invested I say 10% you can save
[209]
average in seven or eight percent I use
[211]
ten because I know I can get that we
[213]
could have invested that five hundred
[215]
thousand dollars five hundred thirty
[217]
seven thousand five hundred dollars at
[219]
10% return on our investment a year
[222]
whether we're doing in stocks if we're
[223]
doing real estate etc so I just put five
[226]
hundred and that means we're not making
[229]
a hundred thousand a year that we could
[231]
be making if we didn't have five hundred
[234]
thousand in our car if we had zero in
[236]
the car and we're just making payments
[238]
or something then we would have been
[240]
able to make an extra hundred thousand
[241]
dollars which is our opportunity cost so
[244]
total cost with opportunity is a hundred
[246]
and eighty seven thousand five hundred
[247]
now I will break this all down at the
[249]
very end for you and make it make sense
[250]
so taking out a loan let's talk about
[253]
taking out a loan now positives to lower
[255]
interest rate it's a lower payment and
[257]
you can leverage some of your money
[259]
you have to do a down payment most of
[260]
the times negatives you're still paying
[262]
sales tax you're paying interest on it
[265]
and you're having a decent amount of
[268]
money you got to put down tied up in the
[269]
car again this will vary depending on
[271]
the individual for me I would have to
[274]
put about 40 50 percent down so for this
[276]
example car price again five hundred
[278]
thousand tax we already know seven and a
[280]
half percent our down payment I'm saying
[282]
we put two hundred thousand down and our
[285]
loan I said we get three percent
[287]
Interest now it's kind of average you
[289]
can usually get two percent if you have
[292]
750 credit score three four percent
[294]
scanned of normal so I just put three
[296]
right in the middle and that means we're
[298]
taking out a loan on three hundred
[300]
thirty seven thousand five hundred
[301]
dollars our monthly payment will be
[303]
seven thousand five hundred dollars
[306]
about and again we're pretending we
[308]
don't care about the monthly payment at
[309]
all we're gonna do whatever is gonna
[310]
cost us the least over the two years and
[313]
we're gonna sell the car in two years
[315]
again for four hundred fifty thousand
[316]
dollars because either way we own the
[318]
car it's gonna be worth the same amount
[320]
so it means for owning the car for two
[323]
years we paid fourteen thousand six
[325]
hundred seventy one dollars and eleven
[327]
cents if you wondered how I got this I
[329]
looked at an amortization table which
[331]
just shows you how much you're paying
[333]
towards interest at the beginning which
[334]
obviously it's front loaded and how much
[336]
you're paying throughout two years so
[337]
this is the total cost in interest over
[339]
two years if we sell the car obviously
[342]
with front loaded interest which is
[343]
normal tax 37,500 we know that and fifty
[347]
thousand in depreciation so our total
[350]
cost taking out the loan is going to be
[352]
a hundred and two thousand one hundred
[354]
seventy one dollars and eleven cents now
[356]
our opportunity cost for this one we had
[360]
three hundred oh I'm sorry this should
[362]
be two hundred thousand dollars at ten
[367]
percent a year which we have tied up in
[369]
the car which should make this forty
[372]
thousand so our opportunity cost is
[373]
forty thousand change this because I
[376]
can't do math apparently so our
[380]
opportunity cost is forty thousand over
[383]
all that we could have invested that two
[385]
hundred thousand step putting in the car
[386]
and made forty thousand if we can get
[388]
ten percent ROI so our total cost here
[390]
is a hundred and forty two thousand now
[393]
what if we do a lease
[395]
now with leases there's so many
[397]
different kinds you
[398]
have to know what you're doing with
[399]
leases to not get screwed over so some
[401]
of the things watch out for is they'll
[404]
make the price of the car cost way way
[406]
more over the life of the lease than if
[408]
you just took a loan out because it
[410]
looks better up front but you have to
[412]
really look into it you can get so for
[416]
this example
[417]
it only least I would ever really do is
[419]
an open-ended lease so I can get out
[421]
pretty much whenever I want with a
[423]
buyout option so they'll say ok first
[426]
year this month let's say after 18
[428]
months you want to get out the car is
[429]
now worth X amount after 2 years it's
[432]
now worth X amount now these for the
[435]
loan and for this it's based off of a
[437]
four-year term now with the lease it is
[442]
positive so positives you don't put any
[446]
money down there are some leases you
[447]
will put some down for this one I'm
[448]
saying no money down because I was
[449]
talking to people and this is what I was
[452]
offered so no money down with leases you
[455]
don't pay sales tax and you can leverage
[457]
your money now one thing with leases and
[460]
loans a little different now if this is
[463]
gonna be a business vehicle obviously
[465]
there's restrictions when it comes to
[468]
luxury car tax how much you can actually
[470]
have how much your car can be worth
[472]
that's a business vehicle and a couple
[474]
other things like that but with a lease
[475]
if it's a hundred percent business car
[477]
this is an advice this is what I do I
[480]
don't do this with my Lamborghini you
[482]
take out a lease you can write off a
[484]
hundred percent of a lease for a
[486]
business but you can't do that with a
[487]
loan however with a loan you can give
[489]
yourself a car budget it gets
[491]
complicated I'm not gonna go into the
[493]
tax side of it in this video
[494]
so positives no money down no sales tax
[496]
you can leverage your money more
[497]
negatives you're paying a higher
[499]
interest rate for this one I said it's
[502]
about 5% could be a little more five
[505]
seven is pretty normal in these four to
[506]
seven lower value of the car at the end
[510]
so with the buyout option technically
[512]
with a lease you don't own the vehicle
[513]
with the other two you do now one thing
[518]
to watch out for is getting screwed over
[519]
is the buyout option they give you okay
[522]
I'm buying the car at $500,000 but they
[524]
could be like are your buyout option is
[525]
400,000 at the end instead of 450 which
[528]
it would be if I owned the car outright
[529]
because they're obviously going to
[531]
want to make money somewhere so higher
[534]
interest rate they'll give you a lower
[535]
value of the car at the end again
[537]
because they got to be safe and resell
[538]
it so they need their margin in there
[541]
and you just got to make sure you're
[544]
getting the right type of lease like I
[545]
said this one would be an open end at
[547]
least with a buyout so if you want
[549]
looking to that go ahead I'm not gonna
[551]
explain it in this video and it's easy
[552]
to get screwed over if you're on edge
[554]
uneducated about leases so do your
[557]
research so for this the car price again
[560]
five hundred thousand tax we are paying
[562]
none with a lease our downpayment is
[565]
zero now sometimes this can be a little
[567]
bit it's usually not much on this kind
[569]
of car it would maybe be forty fifty
[571]
grand
[572]
but again there's ones with zero now our
[574]
lease we're taking out a lease for five
[578]
hundred thirty seven
[579]
oh sorry five hundred thousand dollars
[582]
in general I can't do math and our
[585]
monthly payment is eleven thousand five
[587]
hundred dollars about and we're gonna
[589]
sell the car in two years for four
[591]
hundred twenty five thousand now if you
[592]
noticed I put four hundred twenty five
[594]
thousand here I put four hundred fifty
[595]
on the others because with the lease
[597]
they're probably gonna lowball you more
[599]
on the buyout option throughout the term
[602]
of the lease the value of the car will
[603]
obviously depreciate as you drive it now
[605]
this is with a zero with no max mileage
[610]
per month because a lot of them looking
[611]
at high-end cars like this so I got you
[613]
can drive two thousand miles a year
[614]
that's not what I'm looking for this
[615]
does not have a cap on this one
[617]
no obviously some open it or one to will
[620]
so we're looking at four hundred twenty
[623]
five thousand so an extra twenty five
[625]
thousand we lose in depreciation from
[626]
doing the lease now our total cost over
[629]
two years will be thirty eight thousand
[632]
eight hundred fifteen dollars and twelve
[633]
cents in interest
[634]
so obviously about two and a half three
[638]
times the amount of interest as taking
[639]
out a loan because again five percent
[642]
instead of three and against more money
[645]
sorry hitting puberty apparently
[647]
appreciation seventy five thousand
[649]
dollars and gone so our total cost to
[652]
own or I'm sorry to lease the car is a
[654]
hundred and fourteen thousand dollars
[656]
about now our opportunity cost is zero
[660]
because we're gonna go invest that money
[662]
so that brings our total to a hundred
[665]
13800 15 dollars and 22 cents now let's
[668]
compare them all and recei so if you
[671]
want to understand opportunity cost real
[672]
quick read this basically says the money
[676]
you have in the car you can invest at a
[677]
higher interest rate than a higher ROI
[680]
then your interest rate then you'd be
[683]
making money technically so our total
[685]
costs over two years for a for buying
[689]
cash
[689]
we already saw our total cost was eighty
[691]
seven thousand five hundred however so
[694]
we're starting with five hundred thirty
[695]
seven thousand five hundred each person
[697]
with the cars now our ending total since
[701]
our only cost is eighty seven thousand
[703]
five hundred is four hundred fifty and
[704]
we didn't make any money over those two
[707]
years from our car money as you can see
[710]
right here because it was all tied up in
[712]
the car
[712]
we weren't leveraging it so keep this
[716]
number might we're left with four
[717]
hundred fifty thousand dollars at the
[719]
end of this and they all start with same
[720]
amount if we took out a loan so our
[723]
total cost over two years for taking out
[725]
the loan we started with five hundred
[727]
thirty seven thousand five hundred our
[729]
costs were a hundred and two thousand
[731]
about and we took out a loan at three
[734]
percent interest for three hundred
[735]
thirty seven thousand dollars therefore
[737]
we were able to keep that much money
[739]
that we would have otherwise put down if
[740]
we bought the car in cash because we're
[742]
leveraging the bank's money and we
[744]
invest that money at ten percent ROI a
[746]
year so for two years we made sixty
[749]
seven thousand five hundred dollars so
[751]
we're gonna add that back into our total
[753]
so if you take this right here what we
[755]
started with subtract the cost right
[757]
here and then add in the money we made
[759]
from investing our car budget we are
[762]
ending with five hundred and two
[763]
thousand eight hundred dollars about so
[766]
you can see how big of a difference this
[768]
is when you factor in the opportunity
[770]
cost and you put it in the way of okay I
[772]
made money here instead of just saying
[774]
oh here's the opportunity cost I'm going
[775]
to subtract it so you can see starting
[777]
total it's the same for both of these
[779]
and what they ended with is fifty three
[782]
thousand dollars different even though
[784]
you're paying three percent interest
[785]
here so let's see what it looks like
[788]
with Elise
[789]
now with Elise over two years again
[791]
starting with the same amount total cost
[794]
is a hundred and two thousand a hundred
[796]
seventy one dollars and eleven cents
[798]
we put $0 down and we're able to keep
[800]
all our money and invest at ten percent
[802]
so we made a hundred and seven thousand
[805]
five hundred dollars over the two years
[806]
so our ending total is about five
[809]
thousand dollars higher than what we
[812]
started with so our ending total five
[814]
hundred forty two thousand eight hundred
[815]
twenty-eight dollars 99 cents
[817]
starting with five hundred thirty-seven
[818]
now you can see that's a big difference
[821]
when you take the pain cash you end with
[826]
450 same starting amount or do you end
[829]
with five forty two that's almost a
[830]
hundred thousand dollars different even
[832]
though you're paying more interest you
[834]
don't technically own the car and you're
[837]
paying more for the car over the life of
[840]
owning it now our totals here so for
[844]
cash after two years of owning that car
[846]
were negative eighty seven thousand five
[849]
hundred loan were about negative thirty
[851]
five thousand dollars and for the lease
[852]
were positive five thousand so you can
[856]
see how big of a difference this is here
[858]
between all three there's about 50 grand
[861]
in between each so it's a big big
[863]
difference now one thing to keep in mind
[864]
this is gonna be different for everyone
[866]
the example I gave here there's a lot of
[869]
money on the tax of the car it does
[872]
depreciate a lot and it's different
[874]
factor for different people for me I
[875]
don't care about the monthly payment I
[876]
care about how long or how much it cost
[879]
me over the life I own the car so things
[882]
will vary on this completely
[884]
I'm not saying leasing is the way to go
[886]
for everyone for most people they won't
[887]
invest that money anyway so paying cash
[890]
or just taking out a loan would be
[891]
better than leasing for a normal average
[894]
person now if they're gonna invest that
[896]
money it varies so things keep in mind
[898]
how much money does the person have to
[900]
put down price of the car and sales tax
[902]
do you have sales tax your credit score
[905]
okay what interest rates you can get the
[908]
type of leases or the type of loans
[910]
sales tax of the car again will you
[912]
invest your extra car money if you
[914]
finance the car or are you not actually
[915]
going to investment if you invest it
[917]
what kind of ROI can you get per year
[919]
how long will you keep the car that
[921]
depends also if you look at the
[923]
amortization table and if you're trying
[925]
to buy a house can you increase your
[928]
debt so the difference between buying in
[930]
cash
[931]
leasing it you can see with the lease
[933]
I'm my debt is about eleven thousand
[936]
five hundred dollars a month my debt
[939]
with buying a cache is zero so will that
[942]
affect me if I'm trying to take out
[943]
money somewhere else a K buying a house
[945]
or something like that so she have some
[947]
things to keep in mind now again I
[949]
thought you should never lease a car
[950]
didn't understand why people did until I
[952]
actually broke it down and looked at it
[953]
and this is what you guys have to do
[955]
with anything whether people are talking
[957]
about buying cars buying houses or just
[960]
anything like that because you hear so
[962]
many things oh you shouldn't rent houses
[963]
oh you shouldn't take out leases on cars
[965]
they're high interest rates you have to
[967]
actually break the numbers down and look
[968]
at it which I really enjoy doing so it's
[970]
not too bad I hope you guys got some
[972]
good value out of that and I'll see you
[973]
guys tomorrow in the next video
