Bad perception for everyone then

I always lease, just because I like the car/tech every three years. I can lease two new cars in three years through BMW than paying cash for one in 6 years and still have warranty, new car/tech and not worry about the value of my trade in too.

My wife, on the other hand always pays cash. Nothing to do with affordability.

I've never leased a car, but people that use their cars for business or swap cars every 3 years or so sometimes are better off leasing.
I didn't intend to portray everyone that leases as doing it for a lower payment. My comment was focused on people buying above their income. My perception is this group likes to lease because the cost of admission and payments are lower than financing.
Note the clarification to my post you're commenting on.
