re: If an employer pays full mileage rate, does leasing make sense?

I came here thinking the money board might have people on here who actually understand finance and taxes. Seems like I came on the wrong day. My bad.

If a new luxury car is required for her job they should pay for it or at least provide an allowance. If you don't want them to do that and just want to lease just because, it's your money to blow I guess.

But her getting paid mileage does not make leasing a better choice than buying used. If buying used is not permitted by her employer, she should get a car allowance.
