I want a new car. Do I need a new car? No. I just want one. Does anyone here lease their cars? -- (edited) - sycor Mar 31, 07:53 8
- Depends on what you want. Leasing gets you a nicer car and it's usually totally covered. - Volnelk Mar 31, 08:12
- leasing is generally not a good financial decision because you have no equity in the asset at the end of the lease term. it's like a long-term rental. - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 31, 07:58 1
  - This is one reason why I've never considered leasing. I like having my car. -- nm - sycor Mar 31, 07:59
- We leased the car I'm driving now. We had no issues with it, but I'm not sure I'd do it again. - Jim Mar 31, 07:57 1
  - I should also add that when you sign your lease, the dealer will also lock in a purchase price on the vehicle at that time. - Jim Mar 31, 08:01
