That's a lot more cash than leasing, and leased car are under manufacturer warranty and long service intervals that makes them almost free to operate except for gas and tire. Sounds like a sucker trap.

Imagine if you could have a Boxster in the spring and fall, coupe 911 for the summer, and a Macan for the winter months. Now THAT could be cool.

remember this includes insurance as well. I'd be interested especially if you can get a new car every 12 months.

My BMW SA told me about this last year. He noted Cadillac was already doing it. Sounds like a real possibility for the future of the relationship between car companies and their customers. This is a good idea imho.

Sounds like a good idea. I wonder if this will apply to the full lineup

Well, based on your username, you were drunk at the time.

Perpetual car payments with nothing to ever show for it. Yes, a car is a depreciating asset, but in the end you do have something of value.
I'm skeptical. |

I don't even look at a car lease or purchase agreement from the asset point of view, which is why I usually lease. I have only purchased two cars in my life, where I had a note and payment schedule, and I didn't make it to the end of either term before I was ready to get something different. If I could do a one year lease, that might be perfect for me. The argument you make is a good one, but with a caveat. It's truly only beneficial to buy a vehicle if you keep it for a decent period of time after it has been paid off (and you presumably do something else with that monthly payment, like investing it somehow). Because when you trade a car in early, you get what the car is worth - whether that's based on a loan or a lease, right?
