Very detailed response, but… > [@yo](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/yo/2421/3): > > you dont get to lease a new 350Z use it as a drift race car and expect to get away with that do you??? ^Some ppl actually do lease and upgrade with aftermarket products, with the intent to return the car to stock and part out once the lease has ended.( I am sure your experience has shown you this) > [@yo](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/yo/2421/3): > > buy if you cant take care of your cars, > buy if you cant park in a strait line in the middle of the spot > buy if you cant keep it between the curbs > buy if you expect someone to hold you hand like a baby through your whole automotive experience. Lets see, I purchased my car and… I take care of my car I can park anywhere, even downtown chinatown without problems. I have no problems keeping it on the road. I am to old to have someone coddling me, unless its a scantily clad dressed woman.😃 … So i guess I am really leasing?:hmm > [@yo](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/yo/2421/3): > > lease if you can take care of a car > lease if oyu know “ding doctor” exists > lease if you like you car enough to get the scratches buffed out > lease if you are a responsible enough person to actually do the maintenance ^if you can do all this, why not purchase outright? why take such good care of a vehicle you do not own and one that you will be returning… It doesnt make much sense to me… I guess there are differing opinions and there is nothing wrong with that, and there are benefits to both, but… For you to say that “leasing is always the better/cheaper way” and basically that purchasing is something that should be left for negligent owners is unfounded… and needless to say, something I would expect to hear from a car salesman…"D (JOKES!!) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lease-or-buy/134640)._
