leasing makes sense these days because cars these days aren’t built for you to drive into the ground 20 years later. there is so much electronics that most of it , when it fails, can’t easily be replaceable. Cars these days aren’t exactly environmentally friendly if you count how short car lifespans are these days, all the pollution it took to manufacture all that electronics in that car, and disposal of all that eWaste in that car.
Leasing isn’t great, however, if you track your car and/or heavily mod your car. Insurance usually does not cover your car anywhere “a race event could take place” and as part of a lease, you need to have insurance at all times. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable using a car that wasn’t fully paid off and could be written off completely. Too much shit can go wrong. I already had two incidence where I slid into a wall and another one I hit a storm drain hard and it cracked fuel line hard and the car lit up on fire in older car during the practice laps. Fortunately, most of it was cosmetic and what really needed to be repaired was $300 total. Some guy in a leased C7 went over an embankment one time, and it was painful to see
. I wonder how he explained that to his insurance. A guy I knew did worse, he rolled his RS4 at Willow Springs. He wrote that off, and he was fortunate to walk off alive.
