Reply to comment by Various-Cut-1070 in Buying out my car lease. by Various-Cut-1070

Leasing is buying the first 39k miles.

The depreciation curve is the steepest for the first miles on a car and flattens as you put more miles on a car.

You’re doing the thing you say you’re concerned about

Yes he is scared of something and doing exact thing and subsidizing other intelligent buyers to have nice car without the depreciation available

I was taught that leasing is best because

A) you have a fairly new car most of the time that will likely not give you issues.

B) Warranty/Repairs/Maintenance is typically covered for the life of the lease.

C) Short term commitment

I’m really new to all of this. I’m sure I wasn’t taught correctly.

New cars cost more.

Very expensive short term commitment. The financially responsible decision is making a long term commitment to a car and driving it into the car.
