Secondly, finance rates are and terms are sometimes better than buying and third, if there is an accident, you don't take the hit on value after a repair.

So leasing to own is one thing and leasing perpetually is another.
I dunno man. I prefer to buy outright. Leasing is too complicated and worse than financing in most cases simply because it's like renting usually.
