Doug mentioned something like $300/month lease rate, which I mostly paid no attention to since I can't see paying money while not earning equity in ownership.

I'd love to see a graph of where you buy a new car with a couple of grand down and see where you actually end up having any equity in it! I'm thinking it would be like two thirds of the way through the loan, regardless of how long the loan is.
Seems like if you could lease the Golf for three years without putting down a bunch of money up front it would still be a good deal, other than the mileage limits on a lease. You couldn't buy it outright and make 300 dollar payments unless you put like twenty thousand bucks down on it.
Not that I have ever leased a car, so I could be way off base, but I have always been curious if leases make any sense. Anybody done the math before?
