my main beef with leasing is the paranoia about damaging the car, even minor stuff. you’re pretty much at the mercy of the dealership when it comes time to turn it in. if somebody scratches you while you’re parked, you gotta fix it. or if the tires are too worn, you’re responsible for buying new tires. in reality I haven’t had terrible experiences with the dealers screwing me on this, but the anxiety i develop about it isn’t worth it to me.
