that's why most people lease.


Leasing is a rich man's game IMO.
Anyway, back on topic. Leasing a car is a good way to have a fancy "beater" that you can just turn in after you're done. If I were in CA, an i3 would be very attractive.
Yeah not to thread jack too much but buying an M3 and keeping it for more than 6 years is cheaper than leasing cars back to back like I do. I'm paying for the ease and convenience or a new car every 24-36 mo. It's contradicting to assume it's about affordability in all cases. My much more wealthy millionaire friends lease as well. I'm pretty sure they can afford it he cars but the low exposure is what is appealing.
