Even better- let's assume any differences are invested. And we need to bring in taxes too. How complicated can we make this word problem? A train leaves Albuquerque travelling at 167 mph.....

And another train leaves Los Angeles traveling 147 mph, at won't point do you buy versus lease?

There are too many factors to throw into this debate of leave v buy, not just the cost of the car, but interest rate, time value of money & opportunity cost. Those arguing for a lease need to also understand that a lease really is meant to be written as a loaner car for X number of years. It really is not a viable way to get into a car and then buy it out at the end, unless you know exactly what the value of the car is worth in X years and it beats what the dealership or loan company is offering.

Now, we have left out one very good reason to lease- it gives you the ability to drive a BMW/Merc/Audi and just give it back the moment it starts to break.

Well fingers crossed I'll keep this forever. I'm graduated, good job, home etc, I'll buy a used jeep down the road to play with and hunt and winter etc.

100% correct!

However the wife's parents 07 c270 and 11 e350 and my 09 c300 have all been great. If it breaks then I'm ******

But let's be real, those cars also can be owned by people who want that but can't afford the buy. Nothing wrong with that.

Also some people here can't even turn a wrench. Some people go 20k on an oil change. Those people are not great buyers since the dealer will do the maintenance and they don't know jack.

I live in a state where the property tax will rip you a new a55hole.
