I had it purchased for me at auction for next to nothing. I paid it off in less than 3 years. When I bought it, it was one year old. I saved $13k off sticker. It had 35k miles on it. I've put $800 in maintenance into it. Now, I should go out an lease why?
I can buy whatever the fuck I like at auction for a fraction of what you'll pay on lease, and I'll own it and if I buy a good brand that holds its value, I'll get a nice buck for it in trade, or I can just run it into the ground.

Dude, I'm not the one who told you to lease anything. I said, I didn't like the 5er or the 7 at first, but it's growing on me. Burger's the one who doesn't understand the math involved. Clearly if you are driving heinous mileage - then by all means please purchase - there's no other way around that. I'm at 10k/year. But I ate it big on those 2 years I had to drive 80 mi/day on my last car.
