Leasing is still a privilege you pay dearly for. The guy that buys the M5 for $110K and keeps it for 9 years is still way ahead of the lease guy who leased 3 times.

Depreciation only matters if you buy it and sell in 3 years. That's stupid.
I don't think the buyer is necessarily very far ahead if we factor in repairs on the purchased car after the warranty expires. Fixing an F90 ain't cheap. And it's a high-performance, high-maintenance vehicle.

Leasing we never pay to fix anything. Just tires and gas.
