I always see the commercials with the great payment but at the end of the add there's fine print about $3k+ due at signing. I can't see dropping that every 2-3 years for nothing in return. If that's not the case is it just something u negotiate?

Also what do you do if you fall on hard times with a lease? You can't sell it

I agree with you.

Best thing to do financially, is to buy a car and run it into the ground, then buy another. A lease is not an economical way to own cars, but it does enable one to readily get rid of a car, and get the latest and greatest car in a hurry. Just depends how reliable the cars are in the end.
