To go back to the Thhroatwarbler metaphor to describe the tension in this thread: "I want to know more about buying a good steak dinner from a restaurant." "Well, other options such as buying from the store and cooking it yourself, or getting a burger off the dollar menu, are better choices because they ultimately cost less." "But, I LIKE going to a restaurant for steak!"

Daeus posted:And you also apparently missed the point that the majority of my post was comparing buying new vs lease, or as you put it, comparing steak to steak. I'll go back and edit that out if it distracts you too much from the main point. Dude...I'm on your side

Am I missing something or is the main issue that people are trying to justify why leasing a car repeatedly costs more over a person's lifetime than if they bought a car outright? I wasn't even aware that this was a debatable thing. If you want to lease because it's a simpler thing to do, go ahead, but there's no need to make it sound like it's a financial decision other than how you like to rent nice things over and over again. Hell, Rent-A-Center can do it for furniture and TVs, too! The situation where leasing beats buying every time is a known situation where you need a car for the length of the lease and you will not need a car after that. Anything else and you're playing mental gymnastics.
