I’m leasing my new TSX because I got a decent deal on it. I would have the same monthly payments for a used car worth half as much. Plus my Residual Value is only $18k after 3 years. I would have loved to find a used car lease, but no one seems to do that. ---

Leasing doesn’t make sense for me. I drive too many miles, and would have to turn it in after a year. ---

i can drive up to 37k miles in 3 years if i plan on leasing another acura. ive never thought about doing it prior to this ordeal; it always seemed like a scam. but, now that ive did research it seemed to make sense. same car payment for a brand new car worth 2x as much, a warranty, new car every three years (i go through cars really fast) and if i want i can buy it outright for less than 3 year old tsx’s go for currently. ---

I drive too many miles, and would have to turn it in after a year. Yeah, most leases allow 12k miles per year. Ive had my truck a month short of 3 years and put over 52k on it already so Id get fucked with a lease. ---

SER was CPO right off of a 3yr/36k lease, loved that it was in near-new condition and the warranty saved me money. Downside was bigass payment. MR2 was obviously used and was meant to save me money by eliminating payment; mods and maintenance screwed that plan over though :lol ---
