Leasing is just paying for the depreciation, which you would eat if you bought new, drove it xx miles and years and then sold it again. For people who always want a near-new car and one that's always in-warranty, it can be a good deal. I know a guy who leased a Boxster, ran through his dental practice, tracked the $hit out of it at every local DE and handed it back just before he reached the mileage limit. No questions asked. How else could you work a deal like that?
