I just don’t want the same car for a prolonged period of time. In general, things tend to break down rather rapidly by me so I’d prefer to have something short term and then be able to move on. Appreciate your input!
Any and everything is definitely helpful and appreciated. Thanks for your input!
Thanks, but I’ll pass for now!
You can do all these things if you purchase too.

Ya, I’m starting to see that. I always associated buying with being “stuck” with it forever. However, clearly it’s not looking to be that way. Appreciate your input!
Might be irrelevant to this threat particularly, but this is spot on. I’m in the market for my first leased car but all I see is bad deals all around. The picture isn’t too good with financing either, given the high APRs, except for those EVs/PHEVs where you get good federal tax credits.
That said, anyone has any clue when can we expect seeing better deals? 1 year? or more?
I’ve bought six cars in 3 years, mostly financed. You can get in and out if purchased cars as much as you’d like. Probably a bit easier since most lease contracts have extra fees associated with them.

There are still places to get car loans for 2.XX% APR.

Ya, I didn’t know this until many of yall enlightened me. Thanks for your input, much appreciated!
Nothing is 100%, but one is almost never stuck w/ a Honda or Toyota (esp a well-maintained model).
People love buying them, even used, b/c of the perceived reliability (which sometimes matches the actual reliability). And it seems like you won’t drive the car to a high mileage, so that makes it even more enticing for someone to buy it used.
But you could also drive the competing cars from MB, BMW, and Audi to see if you like those, too.

Seems like a hot car… purchase then flip in a year or year and a half. Doubt the market is going to recover by then.
