Do you lease, finance or pay cash for your cars?

I am curious to see what form of ownership do most TS members prefer. I personally think that lease and finance is for people who want to live beyond their means. I know many people my age who lease brand new cars and pretend they are wealthy. This makes me sick. Currently I own two old BMWs which I love. I paid cash for both and still have money left to continue living the way I used to. Actually owning the car also makes me appreciate it a lot more because I know its mine and I worked hard for it.

Whats your take on lease vs finance vs cash when it comes to cars?




PS: I hope this is not a taboo question. I searched and did not find a similar topic.

I have done all three over my life and your sweeping generalizations of people based on how they pay for a car makes me sick.
Telling people that lease that they are financially inept and living beyond their means is incredibly narrow minded.

Neg once I am able to.

I was going to make a "I steal them" joke, but you're too much of a dumbshit for me to make a funny in your thread.

Another money thread. The key is to find a car dealer that will accept spider monkeys or large quanitys of big screen tvs at steep discounts.

What's the exchange rate for Spider Monkeys to Secret Handshakes? Might just be able to afford that GT3 RS after all.
