Some good tips. I don't agree with his recommendation to lease, however. It is a convenience, but it won't save you money if you keep cars like I do, for 10 years.

I agree 100%, cant see where a lease would benefit most folks, business maybe.

Leases are a lousy deal if you drive many miles-the mileage charge at the end of the lease will be far more expensive than the mileage depreciation on a car you own. And if you do the smart thing and keep a car for a long time you'll be way ahead of the game. Repairs are far cheaper than car payments. And having a new car doesn't guarantee you won't have repairs--they may be covered by warranty but the car will be in the shop where you can't use it.

I've checked into the leasing option many times and could never find a way to make it a good deal.

A lease is a really good deal if you forge a name and address, etc.

But then sleeping is a problem.

Then you crash.

After that, it gets bad.

lease = getting fleeced. I don't lease my company trucks. I own them

Leasing allows a person to drive a late model car without having a lot of money tied up in it. If a person doesn't mind car payments forever, then turning over one lease car after another means always driving a newer car.

I've never leased, but I think that is the attraction.
