I've always seen leasing as something for businesses, or for people who want a new car every year or two. We bought our minivan new in '05 and plan to drive it into the ground.
I've both owned and leased over the last 40 years and found that leasing was not a good option -- at least for me. Despite all the rhetoric to the contrary, leasing is very expensive.
I've never leased. Paid all m y cars off and then after each one was paid off I drove for years without any car payment.
ReplyI've owned a car or truck or both since I was 20 years old and now almost 70 yr. Living in rural areas requires having a dependable vehicle.
ReplyI prefer any equity after a car is paid off to belong to me.
ReplyI never saw the upside of leasing, I want to own and have title when I pay all that money into something
ReplyI own my car because I don't like owning money on a car for years on end.
ReplyI feel like leasing a vehicle is a waste of money.

ReplyI always purchase low priced used vehicles and hold onto them as long as I can. It saves me a ton of money that way.
ReplyI've leased before and went over my allotted mileage. It cost me a lot of money.

ReplyI am low income and could not afford to lease, if I wanted to. Plus, I enjoy customizing my car the way I like.
ReplyWe keep them for long time.
ReplyA lease would not be the best option for me.
ReplyI bought my car 6 years ago, so ready for a new one.
