re: Pros and Cons of Leasing v Buying a Vehicle

It doesn’t help others when folks like yourself chime in on a topic you’re clearly uninformed on.

lol, you're providing bad advice for a poster to make a bad financial decision on the money board. You aren't as informed as you think you are.

Someone mentioned it previously; cars are not always obtained with finances being the top priority.

Sure, but this is a money board where financial advice is topically what is being sought. People generally don't need advice to make emotionally charged purchases. The op is post divorce, with damaged credit and a desire to put himself in position to purchase a home. Buying a new car is a bad idea and leasing one is too from a financial perspective.

You're on a crusade to provide justifications for a lease and, absent the ability to expense it and absent other emotionally charged reasons for obtaining a new car, leasing is rarely the best financial decision.
