Lease

I like the idea of pocketing the difference in payments and investing or utilizing that amount over the term of the lease. I also like having a new car that is in warranty. If you purchase, your warranty would expire in the third year with perhaps 2 more years to go on the financing.

Thanks Mr. Doering for your easy to understand ideas!

The Concepts and Methods of Sales, Leases and Licenses is a tremendous resource for the law student who requires a mastery of sales and leases law, and how the Uniform Commercial Code's Articles 2 and 2A apply to real-world situations. Professor Rustad's treatise tames the "terrible 2s beast" for the most timid through the use of examples, and useful quick-reference charts.

The Concepts and Methods of Sales, Leases and Licenses contains practical problems that apply and analyze the methodology of Articles 2 and 2A with unpretentious, straightforward, succinct model answers. The text contain useful hints segments and indispensable tables for use as quick reference to determine which specific UCC section applies to a given set of facts. The treatise contains an informative discussion on the Federal Counterpart to Article 2, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty-Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act and provides information on other relevant bodies of sales law. There is a clear summary of the Vienna Convention or the Convention for the International Sale of Goods which applies to many international sales of goods between merchants.

Professor Rustad's draws upon his boyhood on a Minnesota farm to illustrate concepts of sales law. Those raised in a large metropolitan city learn all about agricultural commodities and the travails of farm life. His examples include such oddities as Alvin, the "Beefalow" and examples of sales nightmares to educate the law student to protect his against clients against, such as the defective watermelon seeds that required the farmer to destroy his harvest equipment and entire crop where his only remedy was the cost or replacement of the seeds. The text provides insightful examples on offer, tender, acceptance and rejection of goods and latent damages such as when a wool manufacturer shipped defective wool that did not manifest its defect until woven into sweaters, sold to consumers, and subsequently washed by the consumer. The text walks the student through the methodology of the UCC clearly demonstrating which specific sections of the code to apply and how to apply them in a real-world setting as a lawyer.

The text discusses how to apply common law causes of action through Article 1 of the UCC and provides useful tests to determine if a transaction is actually a sale or a lease. The text also describes the predominant purpose and gravamen tests for hybrid transactions such as computers loaded with software to determine which body of law applies.

Overall, the book is an exceptional resource of information containing practical and useful material for preparing for an exam or the multistate bar. The Concepts and Methods of Sales, Leases and Licenses is highly recommended for the law student and law library. The book is also a useful reference for associates or business persons interested in a good overview of sales, leases and licenses.

I think this book is must-have for every landlord or recommended for those thinking of becoming a property mgr. or landlord.

I knew almost nothing about how auto leases worked. But after listening to Jim Garland's audio tape, I got a good working knowledge, which gave me more confidence when I negotiated my first lease. And it saved me money.

You need whatever weapon you can get when you make your next car deal. The car dealers do this kind of negotiating everyday and have all the inside information. I think the information on this audio tape is both easy to understand and valuable.

As a beginning landlord, I cannot recommend this book highly enough!!

I own 3 properties so far and this book has made my success possible!
