lets put it this way, if leasing was so bad for the consumer, why did Chrysler stop leasing cars?
because it was a bad deal for them and they didnt want their cars back!
if a car company with all the infrastructure and marketing resources doesnt want the risk of selling their older model cars, why would i want to own it?

If I had leased it it would have cost me back then to get out of the lease.
Buying the book
http://www.lemonaidcars.com/ will give you all the info you need on the vehicles history and problems associated with it. Secret warranties and all. Unless it's a new model being introduced it will have a history behind it, wether it be good or bad.
My 05 Escape was a 2 year old lease back. I got to see all records of maintinence from the dealer before I got it. Plus I had inspected elsewhere. It passed with flying colors and I saved about 8 grand off the price of a new one. That saving will more than pay for any costs of repairs that might come up.
