Dealer wants to buy out my lease?

:) Hi, I have leased twice and will never do it again. One was a personal car and the other was a commercial truck. Leasing is just a high dollar rental. Car dealers love leases because it is never ending. I don't like vehicle payments.

And I see it completely differently. I have always leased a personal sports car. I don't drive it every day so I don't run up a lot of miles. I also like changing to a different one as often as possible. So I get a two or three year lease (depending upon where the sweet spot appears to be financially). At the end of those two or three years, I am free and clear of any obligation on that car. Don't have to sell it, or trade it to get my next toy. If I someday decide to not have a toy, I just drop the car off and close that chapter of my life. Where leasing is not smart is leasing because it is cheaper monthly payment than buying even though you realize you will be going over the mileage, putting excessive wear and tear on the vehicle or will be looking to trade well before the lease is up. That is just kicking the can down the road, which is a bad plan.
