... and *maybe* an incentive on the price to buy at end of lease. That is if the lease is not underwater. So for a Jeep or a Pilot, the lease might be smart if you can buy it at the end for less than the car is worth (and maybe sell?)... For a SAAB, it used to be that the lease buy-back at the end was similar or even worse than the discounted price on a similar used SAAB on the lot... So leasing the vehicle did not actually buy you anything in that situation vs Joe Blow Used Car Buyer in terms of price paid to buy it "used". The lease did cover the 4 years of new car ownership (in the form of rent). The down payment probably let you pay a bit less month-month on the lease than financing as a purchase.
The top end of a car's life is very expensive one way or another. So really, whatever works for you is great. I'm not interested in owning a car through that period. Too many $$ wasted on depreciation. My opinion would change if I was looking at vehicles that did not depreciate significantly in that time.
