Quick background: my stepson is an O-2(armor) and single; his brigade will deploy in a few months; he currently owns (and is paying off) a 2016 Mazda 626 (I think).
He was telling me that he plans to store the car via some Army storage deal. I was thinking that it would be better to sell the car (rather than pay for 9-months of depreciation and storage) and that, given deployment cycling and his single status, that he'd be better advised to lease short-term for his vehicle needs.
Anyone here have a suggestion or experience as to what seems to work better? Normally, I'm a pay-it-off and run it 'til it drops sort of fellow, but his situation seemed different.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
