Who benefits the most from a car lease?
The person who benefits the most from leasing is the person who meets a few criteria. Firstly, you don't drive a massive amount of miles per year. If you are the kind of person that likes to visit your aunt a thousand miles away on a regular basis, leasing is not going to be good for you, because you're going to be bouncing your head up against those mileage limits. If you're the kind of person who doesn't like to take care of your car, if you don't follow the maintenance schedule, if you don't mind when it gets dirty and scratched, or you spill a coke on the passenger seat, leasing is not for you because you're going to get nailed when you come back in and get hit with cleanup fees. If you're the kind of person who likes to have the latest and greatest, leasing can be a real advantage, because you're in the market very often. Every two, three or four years, you're going in to re-lease a vehicle, or at least trade in your current one and get something new. If you're the kind of person who does enjoy having the new look on the street, then leasing a car could be a real advantage.
