I'm leasing with plans to purchase at the end. I did the math when I first leased the car in terms of my total out of pocket costs of leasing + purchasing at end vs purchasing outright and its true that leasing and then purchasing does cost more. I decided to do that anyways because my monthly payments for leasing it first are less, but I do have a slightly different financial scenario where I knew with certainty that my income would be fairly fixed for the next 2-3 years but would triple after that.
