Leasing is interest on the cost of the car + depreciation + profit. At 7% interest your interest payment alone would be $1400 on a 200K car + depreciation + profit. $2,000 per month sounds about right.

Well, like Ben said earlier, it all comes down to what you figure you can earn with your cash. If you can outperform the lease costs, obviously you'd be wiser to lease, even if you could easily pay cash. Other People's Money...

This 'old school' thinking reminds me of another 'old school' argument that has reared its ugly head (and the ugly head of his blonde headed friend, as a matter of fact) concerning what 'real men' drive (and contrary to the very statement is the individual making the statement as witnessed in the photo).
