LeaseTrader.com Poll: Two Thirds of Drivers Believe They'll Always Have Car Payment
Poll Shows Changing Mindset & Behavior of How Americans Look at Cars as an Investment
(firmenpresse) - MIAMI, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 01/18/12 -- The only things certain in life are death, taxes... and a car payment? According to a new poll by car lease company LeaseTrader.com, 64.3 percent of respondents feel they will always have a car payment, up from 48.6 percent five years ago.
The nation's most recognized name in car leasing, LeaseTrader.com polled about 500 drivers from around the country and compared results with a similar poll the company conducted at the beginning of 2007, when the belief of always having a car payment was split down the middle. According to the poll conducted online at the beginning of December, almost two thirds of people believe a car payment is now just a way of life and they expect to always have one.
"Because there are a lot of similarities between cars and cell phones today people also look at car payments with the same pay-as-you-go mentality," said Sergio Stiberman, CEO and founder of LeaseTrader.com. "More people today realize having a car payment is just something they will always have."
The poll was taken by current and former users of LeaseTrader.com. Here are a few additional interesting notes from the poll:
Only 61.2 percent of those who took the poll are currently leasing a vehicle.
Interestingly enough, of those respondents not currently leasing a vehicle, almost the same percentage of people share similar views on always having a car payment (59.8%).
According to this data, even those who are in a situation where they could drive the same car once it's paid for, they still believe they'll move directly into another car payment.
Only 21.6 percent believe a car could be considered an investment today, compared with 45.3 percent back in 2007.
