Leasing may work for you. But for most people, it doesn't or shouldn't.

Leasing, you own nothing, but you owe something.


For the ticking time bomb of expensive maintenance that is a high end German luxury car, I would never do anything other than lease. I'd rather pay a note on it for 2 years, drive it 30k miles, and be able to walk away without the giant depreciation hit or any expensive repairs.

Now for cars with less complicated systems, such as my truck, there is no way I'd lease it.

Just my opinion though.

Many BMW lessees, especially those that have experienced electrical issues, say the best day of ownership was the lease expiration/termination date. My wife's car was at the dealer to repair massive wind noise around the moonroof and ended up having to replace the entire assembly which had to be sourced from Germany, took 3 friggin' weeks.
