If you know anything about accounting you will be able to calculate cost of money to purchase or lease, depreciation, and maintenance. Hint: maintenance costs and depreciation act in opposite directions. And the leasing companies surely do know how to do this calculation. There is no such thing as a free lunch. |

Hey, jerk: not everyone has a job in an urban center. I can’t walk to my job, as it’s located on a busy road with no sidewalks. My neighborhood itself is totally walkable, but my job isn’t. Hence, I have a car. |
And even setting aside the practicality of, you know, needing a car as a means of transportation, many people genuinely enjoy driving. Even if I lived in an urban center, I'd still feel compelled to hit the road in a well appointed, twin turbo German-engineered auto. It's delightful. |
