It's funny that we're having this conversation the same week that Unique is advertising a great deal on the Fusion.
How much?

is it crazy to lease a car knowing you'll go over the miles and need to either buy it out or pay the penalty? IE is it cheaper to buy a car initially or after a lease?

It's crazy if you don't do the math and add up how much many miles you plan on driving and how much extra is that gonna cost you.
I'm assuming that I'm not really understanding your question because this seems fairly obvious.

i guess the point of the question is that it will be fairly close so is it usually significantly more to buy out a lease than to buy initially?

Can you negotiate the buyout price when getting the lease?

My Odyssey is up in July. Should I wait for the 2016 to come out? It looks a lot diff than the current model. Anyone know when it's coming out? I don't see any definite date online.

Our Hyundai Elantra 36mo lease is about to come to an end.
We are planning to make aliyah shortly so not in the market for a new lease or new car.
My question is whether to return it (and pay the $400 disposition fee and make good some dings etc) or buy the car and sell it on. The car is in very good condition, needs a bit of cosmetic body work, but only has 8000 miles on the clock.
They want about $13K for the car.

where are you located?

are you close to a Carmax? 

We're located in Los Angeles.

You can easily negotiate the extra milage if your willing to buy or lease again from that company.

I would assume yes. Just like negotiating a purchase price when buying.
If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

Go to Carmax near the airport and get a buyout quote and compare it to your payoff.  It's a lot easier to sell to them than return and they handle all the paperwork,  you very possibly might end up ahead

One more point,  if you buy it yourself you'll have to pay sales tax,  a good chunk of change.  If you sell it to Carmax you won't because they are dealers buying from hyundai directly

Because of the way a lease works, it is not possible to negotiate the buyout price for after the lease.

The buyout amount is the "residual Value" Which is calculated by percentage of the MSRP,

E. G. MSRP is $25,000, the resid is 50%, The buyout would then be $12,500,

The cost of the lease depends on how much you buy the car for, say for example you buy it for $20,000, The price of the lease would be:   

$20,000
-$12,500 (residual value)
+interest
+Tax if applicable
Divide by the number of months.

Question was " when getting the lease" not "after the lease"

If you're thinking about the buyout price when you leased it in the first place, you probably should be buying/financing in the first place and not messing around with leasing it first.

Not necessarily true. Leasing first let's you decide if you like the car and make sure it's reliable. There are times that leasing then buying after is around the same price as buying first

If name individual buys it they charge tax because they assume you are continuing to drive it. You could technically have a leasing guy/dealer "buy" it for you

That can only realistically happen retrospectively, and it would be due to that make/model/mileage vehicle increasing in value.

Why not? You would have to pay the tax when registering it.
Didn't mention this to avoid tax. But say a new yorker has the lease and i wanna register in MD I would go this route
