There are all kinds of problems that can develop, out of 24 people there will be many that will not agree to you keeping it in your driveway for more than your 15 days,
That would be better.
Each player keeps it for 15 days a year and during those 15 days if anyone wants to borrow it they would contact them.


damage will happen especially to a pick up that may not be noticed by the next user,

i didn't think of that---

there is sales tax on top of the monthly lease payment and most likely dealer fees, several hundred dollars in license fees, repairs, maintenance, insurance deductibles if a tree branch falls on it or something similar, and so on.

add it all up and divide by 24---


Not as clear cut as you are thinking, there will be many unforeseen hassles that you can't work out in advance.


Why not just buy it or lease it yourself and use it as a second car or better yet rent one.



I only want a truck 15 days a year. Trucks rent for $80/day. enterprise quote

so for 320 you get a truck for 4 days over 2 years from enterprise
or 30 days over 2 years with my scheme
