On another hand, if you buy a slightly used car, you might only lose several thousands dollars upon trade-in, whereas with a lease, you're guaranteed to lose all of the money you put in, like renting an apartment.


So is it worth it to pay $25,000 for a lease, or pay $50k for a used car and effectively only spend $10k? Of course you could lose more on trade-in which makes leasing more attractive.


Just a thought...
