re: Leasing a vehicle

What Will Cover said. There's nothing wrong with leasing a vehicle, it's simply a matter of comparing what it costs you to lease the vehicle versus buying it. Most people don't know all the variables to figure this out and get arse raped. Leasing has a negative connotation because "you don't own the car at the end of the lease". Big fricking deal. Figure out what it's going to cost to lease vs to own, all that info is available on the interwebs, and make your decision based on that. The end.
