Hmm, Leasing can be a good idea in some circumstances, at the moment it's particularly attractive.
For example, many manufacturers are struggling to sell cars and so they are clearing stock with some pretty good contract deals. The 2 year lease on some cars now is less than the two year depreciation. If you also consider the opportunity cost of having outlaid say 30k it's a no brainer. Of course there is cheaper motoring to be had, but who wants to be the richest man in the graveyard, it's a cliche but life is for living.Comment
