I can't vote - I'm neither leased nor financed - where is the choice for paid cash?

However, in the past several decades, I have probably leased as many times as I financed.

Well, would you rather have money sitting at low interest rates, or drive fun cars........................!!

BTW, if you think someone who pays cash for a car is rich, your economic evaluators needs adjusting these days.

Rich dudes are guys who can buy a Gulfstream...not BMWs.

Cash as well

Dealer said it is not rare but remember that house evaluation is so high compared to the mortgage, some people have a massive line of credit at a very low rate guarantee by the house value so they look like they have paid cash to the dealer but they "finance" in the background

I think it makes the most sense if you leased, vote leased. Everything else vote financed. To me, leased means someone else owns the car and you'll be giving it back at the end of the term. Financed means that you're buying the car and it's yours after you've paid it off. Buying with cash just means it's your car now.

At this point it looks like financed is in the lead.

I have 2 business. Automatically people will think I should lease HOWEVER, since I drive to my place of business everyday 7 days a week about 150 kms per day....buying is more practical. The 20,000km per year will not just cut it for me.
