FTFY.
And the fact that you see so many leased minivans in the community proves my point. One of the reasons people lease is because they feel like they are much less likely to have issues with a car in its first three years (and if there is anything wrong, it would be covered by the warranty).
Agreed. I never bought, always lease under business, last car I leased was a BMW 750I M, and when the lease ended I made the mistake of buying it. Warranty was over and problems started left and right, power steering , radiator, battery,fuel pump,headlights, and there was a class action suit about the N63 engines burning oil, so BMW paid dealer $12500 to fix, a few days later chassis warning light, all this within a year after warranty expired, I am selling it after the crazy $$ repair costs, only has 42000 miles , this particular model was a lemon, had many BMWs before , never a problem while leasing as the car is under warranty. I'll go back to leasing.
