This thread is (mostly) discussing the pros and cons of buying Vs leasing of a brand new car and only keeping it for a few years. In both situations, you are paying for the most depreciating years of the vehicles.

Buying an older vehicle, in comparison to buying (or leasing) a brand new vehicle is an entirely different discussion.
