Why do people LEASE there cars?

[Spyder]

From a finacial stand point, leasing a car is stupid. Let me put it to you this way, what gradification do you get from making payments on a car you will never own? You are restricted to hell with the milage of the car. So you might get a new car every three years, but you are more than likely going to be in debt the rest of your life anyway, so what is the point.

i pointed out the rest of it in a previous post, and depending on the car and the business you are in it is very nice to have a 150,000+ dollar car that is a complete tax write off where as a purchased car is not a tax deduction. some people also take comfort in knowing they have a good car and dont have to worry about anything in terms of maintance short of changing oil and putting in gas.

That aspect of it is fine, but for a typical consumer it really doesn't benefit anyone but the dealership. And as far as maintenance goes, most cars these days don't require any major tune up for at least 60k miles. And some cars have warranties that surpass that.

Warranty doesn't cover things that should have been done in normal maintance. if you dont change your oil in 60k miles they dont just give you a new motor, so that part of it is just a given expense of owning an auto. the flips side of it is when in a lease car you never go past the 60k warranty because it is due back before then, if you DO go past it you are fucked anyhow lol.

*glad to see you discussing instead of just giving non expressive 5 word statements *

That is very true. I have noticed over the years that IA has very few people on here you can actually discuss topics. Not everyone is going to have the same views as everyone else, but because people as so dogmatic on here it really doesn't matter.

The irony of your statement is that I first saw you as being one of "those people" with your un explained 6 word inital post.

That is because IA has really changed over the years. More like Off Topic and Genmay. Most people don't even read what you post.
