On paper leasing doesn't look so great, but not dealing with getting a run around on a problematic car has some value.(04-26-2022, 05:04 AM)ken-do-nim Wrote: I'll say this, there's something to be said for perpetual leasing. You always have a car that is 0-3 years old, and repairs should never be an issue. As long as you don't have to pony up a downpayment, the monthly payment can just move into your budget.
i know a few people who do that and are happy
i buy cars used and keep them for years
2004 acura
2007 toyota tundra
2011 acura
Another option Ken, do the research and lease a car known to last forever. If it is indeed reliable during your lease, you probably got a good one so just do the buyout at the end of the lease. I think that is superior to just leasing with no regard to reliability because you don't care.
