DO NOT LEASE!!!!!! Unless you own a business and can write off some part of it.


Leases always sound good but crunch the numbers, they never work out in the long term. And don't get me started on to much milage, wear and tear, etc...

I am sure there are some former leasers that can tell you the +'s and -'s

Leasing is the best route if you can write it off for a business.

There's not many advantages otherwise. You end up paying a lot more.

If you have a lot of money and just want a different car every few years, go for it.
