It's a good thing I'm not hugely wealthy, because then I'd have to grapple with choices such as whether or not to drive a Bugatti Veyron, currently the fastest street-legal car ever built. You can buy one for a mere $1.4 million, or lease one from Putnam Leasing.Here are the numbers for the lease:
Down Payment: $400,000
Monthly Payment: $23,595 x 60 months
Total cost of lease over 5 years: $1,815,700
Of course, you're only allowed to drive the Veyron 2,500 miles a year, which is less than 10 hours of driving at the Veyron's top speed of 253mph. Jesus.
Perhaps in a future entry I'll ponder fantasy plane purchases, many of which are a bargain in comparison.
