i want to start a 5-vehicle fleet. i have a total monthly budget of 2,000 TL. which is more economical: leasing (monthly payments) or buying (buy 10 vehicles lower payments)?
setting up a vehicle fleet: is leasing (renting) or buying cheaper?
Most Helpful#2
leasing vs buying: leasing = 400 TL/month x 5 vehicles = 2,000 TL, maintenance + insurance included. buying = 50,000 TL down payment, 500 TL/month for fuel/maintenance, insurance separate.
financial: leasing = predictable cost, buying = variable + initial capital. if profit is low, leasing; if profit is high, buying (you can write off depreciation).

we bought them and then regretted it. the vehicles got old repairs were expensive. i mean switching to leasing made operations much smoother, with predictable monthly costs.

Yes that's exactly how it is with vehicle fleet rent or buy. A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.
Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

My perspective changed after experiencing that. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.
Hope this helps.

This approach has a cost, which isn't discussed. The biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.

This approach has a cost, which isn't discussed. btw most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.
Thats all sorry if I went on too long.
Absolutely. If I were to add anything: Don't enter any agreement without an exit plan.

Timely topic... honestly look where the bucket leaks; pouring water on top doesn't solve it.
The harder it is to reverse a decision the slower you should make it. That's all, sorry if I went on too long.
The discussion got scattered, let me summarize. A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.
Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

Let me share what happened to me; it might be useful. Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

There's a part I don't understand. If you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong.
Proven by experience.

You're right, I've been down that road too. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.
Good luck with that.
