My father was not rich by any means and he would only finance for three years and after, he would continue to put payment in a savings for the next car. Cars were cheaper then but it made sense.
So I think what I'm going to end up doing is similar. I've got around 22k equity in my current car so I'll basically use that to pay the lease each month. Then I'll take the $600 ish a month that I was going to finance, and put that into an investment that appreciates.
