Sure- but you can always trade a car in...no acquisition fee, tax benefits depending on the state, etc. I've leased and I've purchased...but I never understood the 'frequency' argument, there's no free lunch here.

I like to lease so I have the option to avoid dealing with accelerated depreciation at disposition (minor accident damage and/or first year issues, as is the case here)...but you pay a premium for that option (mf tend to be 1-2% higher than similarly termed loans, acquisition fees are ~$725-$975, less tax-efficient, etc).
