It's the most misunderstood strategy in the market.

I had intended to buy my x5 at lease end, until I got hit by a drunk driver. Caused over 20k in damage, and I couldn't file for diminished value, since bmw was technically the owner. Luckily bmw let me out of the lease easily.

I saw this happen so many times when I was in the insurance industry, and it put some people in a pretty bad spot. They ended up owing money on a vehicle that was totaled and headed to the scrap yard.

You’re not going to change anyone’s mind here. Leasing works for some and owning works for some. It’s a personal choice. I lease. I enjoy having a new car every 3 years . I will not have a car out of warranty these days with all the tech and electronics. I do low miles and treat the car as if I own it. Damn, I put super in loaners when I have to fuel up. Anyone who gets my CPO is lucky. My vehicles are meticulously maintained. I enjoy my cars and drive them hard but don’t abuse. I can easily afford to purchase but leasing works for me.

This is just one of those topics that fall into a religious type debate.
For me, there's something to be said about not having a car payment. I was car payment free for 3 years until this year when I picked up my 2016 C650 Sport used. I usually pay off a vehicle in one year maybe two. With the C650, I'll probably take it to full term or close to it as my monthly payment is $130 and the interest on the loan is 1.9%. |

LOL. Naw. It's a BMW maxi scooter. Scooter with a 650cc parallel twin engine that will do 110 MPH according to BMW. I've had it up to ahem...90 on a number of occasions without issue. Wish I had two of these.

That scooter has more comfort/tech than both of my superbikes. It has ABS, traction control, heated hand grips, heated seats (rider and passenger individually adjustable), an accessory outlet where I can charge my cell phone in a lockable glove box, and tons of storage. You can tell BMW Motorrad put a decent amount of design effort into this scooter. As I get more comfortable with it, I find myself leaning that sucker more and more. I've scraped the ground clearance feeler for the center stand twice (both on the left and right sides). The inverted front forks and the adjustable rear shock gives clear hints this is not your normal scooter. The GT version which is the only one BMW sells now has the added features of blind spot monitoring, electrically adjustable windscreen, full running boards, and back rest for the rider. I prefer the Sport version as it's 25 lbs lighter. And the reason it's not out of line to finance these scooters is because they retail for around $12k new. Of course I didn't pay that much for mine used. But it's still definitely significantly more expensive than going in and buying a new Vespa. |

LOL. Yes. After owning it for a few months, it's still odd for me to call it a scooter. The thing is actually a bit bigger than both of my superbikes. Everyone that has seen it think it's a motorcycle. On a group one earlier this year, I was railing that thing pinned to the back side of the lead rider on a 1400cc sport tourer. He was shocked I was glued to him the entire time.
