I could do some calculations to show you that if you traded your vehicle in after 4 years or did a 4 year lease and put comparable money down, did a standard term on the retail, and put the same miles, your payment difference over that 4 years would be on average around 200 dollars a month cheaper. During that time, if you save the 200 bucks, it would be 9600 bucks. Equity.


Oh and that 200 a month would be going into an account or fund that could make you money instead of paying a bank the interest on a 40% of that money being borrowed that you're not going to use.

I don't see how that would work unless you were financing a purchase with a high interest rate loan. Most manufacturers offer some pretty attractive rates if you go through the manufacturers' finance company. Last 2 vehicles I bought were financed at 0% and 0.9%. Had one for 4 years and the one I have now is almost 5 years. I don't see how I could've came out ahead by leasing on either
