Get rid of lease hacker score?

You replied to @littleviolette and this is how she sees it and this what I meant.

@littleviolette

If it would take 12 years of monthly payments to reach the MSRP, I would definitely lease the car instead of buying/financing it. If it would only take 5 years, maybe I would consider buying the car (if I really want it), or I would look for another model to lease

Has nothing to do with underlying numbers or costs. Just years to reach MSRP.
I’ve made it clear before that the score and 1% are meaningless to me personally

I’m aware of who I replied to and I still don’t see the validity of the argument. My counter points all stand, it’s a vacuum metric that doesn’t consider the actual price of financing/buying unless we live in a fantasy world where cars are purchased at MSRP. As far as I know this only applies to Honda Accord Hybrid Tourings.

The only way to compare it to financing is to have a financinghackr calculator score with its own finance dependent inputs.

Good. There is no real validity to LH score, but some may still find validity in it.

Yah, but the Venn diagram of those that try to use LH score and those that may find validity in it don’t overlap.

That’s one of the most nonsensical things I’ve ever read. Is this one of those “in mother Russia” jokes?
