Benefits to leasing is the rich do it because of the debt ratio to income. What I mean is that if you buy a $20,000 car you owe that to a bank or a debt. If you lease and your payment is $300 per month, the only debt is the $300 not the $20,000.

The rich then can buy investment assets because they have borrowning power.

Benefit of lease for 3 years is your under the manufacturers warranty which is 3 years, 36,000 miles. Then go get another new car always under warranty.

dont worry if you go over the mileage penalty, its still cheaper to pay the penalty then owning the car, because all cars depreciate big time.

try getting a quote from a dealer when you want to trade your car in, you will want to choke the dealer.

If your the kind of person to keep a car for 10 years then its better to buy a used car with vey low miles, maybe 2 year old car.
