The only reason why you would want to lease is not able to afford the hefty downpayment and have no other option and still want to own a car. The ADs are not stupid; why lease you when their job is to sell cars? Calculate the monthly instalments and see which one make monetary sense. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendstar Supercharged March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 I see no prob with leasing if the sums make sense. And I feel that its an ingenious method to get around the current issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This method has been tried and tested in United States. Just take the total lease amount as the depreciation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike car where u get back parf value after 10yrs. So if assume 3k monthly lease. depreciation is 36k per annum. while a typical 2nd hand car depreciation is 10-15k. so is it worth it?

You are not only Old Driver but also a very old car owner.I feel that I am also leasing the car from our government, if not who can have the last say to keep the car after ten years.

But then again, car-leasing is just another innovative way for the ADs to make $. It wouldn't be beneficial to the lessee. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 If one die die must drive new car and is unable to afford hefty downpayment, leasing is an option.eg. Vw Polo $2.5k a month. If don't mind used car, cheaper to rent long term. Eg. Honda Jazz $1.4k a month. Leasing or renting is good for high mileage drivers since maintenance is covered. Also good for young drivers and those with frequent accident claims since insurance is covered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ADs are not stupid; why lease you when their job is to sell cars? Calculate the monthly instalments and see which one make monetary sense. To compare, you will also need to consider the interest you are paying to the bank for buying the car....this in addition to the down-payment, monthly repayments, road tax, insurance, regular servicing, etc. Yes, l believe leasing will ultimately be more expensive, however as you do not own the car, the risk is lesser....I will have less of a concern leasing a problematic car like VW against owning one.

Wt_know Supersonic March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 (edited) lease is 101% more expensive la else everyone will lease and who is stupid enough to buy just that leasing no need huge capital outflow lease also got T&C ... doesn't mean anyhow can terminate the lease or change to another car without penalty similarly, buy car already also can change car anytime in a nutshell, it depends on the owner how much he can or afford to lose in my opinion, those who cannot afford huge capital outflow, better look at used car 5 years or above leasing new car .... it's equally expensive in terms of running cost leasing old car ... is it worth it?
