The local infiniti dealer near me stated that 80% of its customers lease their cars. I was wondering how true that is in the enthusiast market on this board?

 

I was going to lease for the first time ever, but ended up financing my G... I can drive as much as I want lol..

 

I own so I can modify and drive my car.

 

I thought you can modify your car on a lease (as long as you return it to stock when you return it)

 

you can. it's just not financially the best idea since you're returning the car... well unless you're max and you wipe your a$$ with bills...

 

Not this Chit again...

 

wow didnt know max leased!

 

I didnt lease... I bought...

 

bought... I like to own and do wat i want, drive when i want, mod when i want

 

What if I own some cars and lease other cars?

 

Own!!!

 

I like to throw my money at cars that only take a 25-40 % hit on my wallet as opposed to investing in the market where the hit is normally 50% or higher

 

I own becasue although it is a depreciating one, an owned vehicle is an asset. A leased vehicle is always a liablilty, even though there are some business circumstances where it's a better financial decision to lease than buy. Most lessors though don't fall into this category and just don't mind perpetually paying for something for the rest of their lives that thay will never own. My desire for the rewards of financially sound decision making is stronger thant my urge to have something new every 2 or 3 years so buying makes sense to me.

 

I'm leased, and gonna be raped if I turn it in on miles, anyone want to buy a BO in about a year?

 

^ Main reason that you don't want to lease....mileage restrictions.
