Good points, however anyway you dice-it or slice-it, leasing is more expensive. The only benefit, realistically, is that you need a very low down-stroke, if any, and the payments are usually lower.

The down-side is -you own nothing, mileage and care of the vehicle is usually an issue, and your STUCK for a specific period of time, ie, 39 months!!!

At least if you purchase, you're in control-not the contract!!!!!!
