    as we have heard , traveloko charges you more for it then leasing one direct.

    thats down the road anyway.

    which of your options feels right to you?

    end of the day, its your decision. one you need to live with. there are advantages and disadvantages to both routes. choose the one that best meets your overall long term goal.

    I just dont have 10k to put down right now true i can save it but it would take a year or 2. By then id already be done with a year or two of truck payments if i lease. Yeah its gonna suck paying those payments but it will be paid off sooner than if i waited to save up and get a loan plus by the time i get close to paying loan off on a used truck it would have well over 600k miles and lots of maintence. Leasing id have title at 450kish miles. Why wouldnt thay be a better route? What am i missing plus you cant deduct truck payments off a loan right? Just the interest. Leasing deduct all payments no? Shoot i think its a good idea but what do i know

    well imo you shoukd ask an account about that stuff.

    asking a trucker about this stuff is like asking a hooker how to stay a virgin. I wouldnt trust the answer from either.

    If more drivers would seek real professional advice there would be thousands of trucks sitting at these lease purchase scams.
