[quote=Anonymous]OP, you could buy a new car and then just have a rental delivered to your house or the shop whenever you need to leave it for repairs (which is unlikely in the first 3 yrs anyway).

I think you just like knowing that someone else is responsible for the car -- like having a personal car butler.  But, don't fool yourself.  You are paying a lot to have the latest and greatest.

I'm happily driving my 2004 camry!  I don't have any ego tied up in having an impressive car.  It's comfortable and gets me where I need to go.  My friend is looking to sell her 2012 camry.  I test drove it and it was great!  I want to buy it (for $9000).  To me, it is like a new car.  So smooth and responsive and quiet.

I think you have acclimated yourself to "new with all the bells and whistles" and now you are trying to justify it.

If you are going to throw money away by getting a new car every 3 years, then you might as well do the lease.  But, don't kid yourself.  Cars are quite nice after three years too... and they are a lot cheaper if you buy them rather than rent them.

You could probably hire a personal concierge to bring you a rental car and then take your (purchased) vehicle to the shop for you at a lower cost than you are paying to lease it.  [/quote]
