Really depends on the lease deal. When GM was dumping Equinoxes before the redesigned model dropped people were getting stupid deals on them. $140/month for a mid sized AWD with nothing down type deals. These thread really opened my eyes to leasing: > [@Lease to buy worth doing?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lease-to-buy-worth-doing/274544): > > So I went to the Auto show yesterday and really liked the Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. I currently own my 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT (has some rust issues 133k mileage ). I still owe $2,500 on it, will be paid off probably mid summer. But currently my monthly payment for it is like $250/month. I have a work vehicle, so I barely drive my vehicles at all. I’m just not sure if it’s worth continuing paying for my truck or trying to trade it in on a lease to own, it would probably be a wash in trade… The key seems to be finding a vehicle the manufacture is throwing great lease deals at. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/leasing-a-car-is-stupid/234589)._
