Agreed! I have never leased and don't plan on ever doing it even if I make 250K a year. Its easier to pay off and just sell it. How much tax write off can you get from a lease? Are you getting a return comparable to what you spent that year on the lease?

err.... yeah... very well could be. and you didn't read the part where in some state you only pay portion of sales tax that you own the car on?

Yeah NY is one of them, but your still allowed to use the tax you paid on your financed car as a write off, I did and got back almost all of it
