Thoughts on leasing?


I financed my current car at 1% APR and it has a note of about $400/month for five years. It will have a note of $0/month for probably a good ten years after that.

Leasing is terrible financially. Sure, you get to drive a nearly-new car around for awhile but those first three years are the most expensive for a car due to depreciation.

If you have money to burn though and having a new car is that important to you, it's your money.

That's pretty similar to a car loan that I had a few years ago. I got 5 more years out of it after paying it off. I still have the car but it's in my garage not being used right now.
