As someone who is self employed there are greater financial gains in terms of write-offs to lease a vehicle.
I myself (self employed) just finished shopping around for a new car and looked at the option to lease. My biggest issue is not owning out right and adding another payment to the already long list.
whats the problem with a payment?

even if i had the cash, i would still prefer to dole it out at a rate of 1/48 per month then to hand it all over in one lump sum.

assuming low interest rate enviroment of course.

i guess, i just want as little money out of my pocket on a cash flow basis to run the car. a lease fixes my budget annually, makes it predictable and doesnt tie me to owning a depreciating (non) assett.

to each his own i suppose.
