Too many people lease cars for all the wrong reasons...the main one is since they could never afford to buy such a vehicle, they lease it and end up paying more for those first 2 or 3 years of ownership compared to if they'd had bought it...plus the mileage and/or "condition" penalties...all of which can exceed the initial vehicle depreciation.

You can finance something you can't afford too? I didn't say always. Once again, there are plenty of reasons for SOME PEOPLE leasing/financing a vehicle makes more sense.

If you have a low enough interest rate it makes more sense to keep the capital tied into investments/accounts that see returns.

Say the interest rate is 2%.

Name me an investment that I can see better than that, thus justifying the lease/finance? Keep in mind that I'll be taxed at about 33%, so I need to have a return of 3% guaranteed to just break even. So let's put it at 4% so I can walk away with almost 1%. So where might that guaranteed return place be?

Zero-coupon munis. Hold to maturity.

According to one measure from Barclays, zeroes yield about 3.4% compared with about 2.1% for municipal bonds overall.

Exempt from Federal income tax, but not necessarily AMT.
