Help me make sense of leasing a .

Someone keeps telling me I should have leased a vehicle instead of purchasing. But to me, that looks like taking a position of perpetually having a payment. It looks like one is paying for depreciation + profit. I don't see that this works out to less expensive than purchasing.

@ThinkingSapien It only really works for those with a good chunk of spare money.

@ThinkingSapien you’re always under warranty and you can switch vehicles more easily?

@ThinkingSapien if you plan on keeping your car long enough to pay off the loan, buy it. If having a newer car is important to you, lease it.

The person who told you that you should have leased it needs to mind their own business.
