I though financial advisors argued against putting down thousands on a lease which essentially is a long term rental...
It’s not a good idea to do so but some people feel better with the idea of a future lower payment by risking their cash at inception.

Also, you have a lot to show for leasing a car. First, you save on the depreciation and you could buy the car if you wish to.
