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...
You can always purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease for usually a very good price. If you want a brand new upgraded model of a car you're either paying cash or leasing it.

Knew a gal that bought a brand new Boxster S three years ago for $68,000... cash on the barrel head. After just 14 months she tired of it but her highest offer was only $50K when attempting to sell.
