No way!

I prefer ownership of both. Now, I do own property and lease out to others!

1. I've leased my car for at least 15 years. My husband and my accountant feel it makes more sense for me financially.

2. I do "lease" my phone. It worked out cheaper with T-Mobile than buying one and I get a new one each year without any additional charge. And I'm not stuck with an old phone. I'm always one generation behind in phones but last year got a good deal on a Samsung 7 Edge for $15 per month because the 8 had come out. In March I'll switch to the Samsung 8.

I didn't know YOU COULD lease your phone!
I have leased a vehicle in the past; I drove too many miles for it to make sense. I don't drive that many miles anymore, but I own my babytruck free and clear. ❤

Yes, and Yes. Apple actually offer it, you just change your phone as soon as they launch a new one. 

Good morning Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, I have been leasing cars for the past 16 years. I lease for 3 years and then get a new car with all new technology and zero miles. I would have to look into the phone lease to make a decision. 

I used to lease my cars and before the market tanked I said to Diane I need to buy a reliable car so we do not need to worry about monthly payments.... That was fifteen years ago and two Lexus later RX 330 & RX 350....free and clear...Endre

Other than on vacation using rentals, I've never leased a car and I would not lease a phone.

N/A

No

I leased a car in the past, but i put so many miles on it does not work out for me. As far as my phone, I just tried SPRINT FLEX. It is 18 payments on the Iphone X of $32 mo. after 12 months i can upgrade to an new iphone if out and if i want. 

N/A and depends on the numbers...

I have never leased my car and until just recently always owned my phone. Now, my new phone, if it ever arrives, will be on a lease. At the current rate, I will have to trade it in on delivery for updated technology! 

I don't lease either one.

Leased car once, did not like it; we are car owners. Might consider leasing a business phone given such frequent upgrades.

I have never leased our vehicles or phones.

no and no.  I drive a lot of miles during the year, lease won't work.  Cell phone not only no but, heck no.

I never lease.

I haven't ever leased a car, so cannot provide any feedback on that. I might consider a lease on a cell phone, since we sort of do that now anyway (new phones are typically paid over a period of years, hidden in the bill). It would depend on the fine print.

I prefer to own cars and phones. 

I tried that, twice, and simply don't like it. Both times mileage got me-once I even bought more miles!

Never leased a vehicle, but I'm open to it. Leased a cell phone once, only because I had to. It was when the small cell phones first came out in the early 90s and there was no option to buy with the model that I wanted.

I have leased a car in the past and probably will not do it again.  And I do not believe I would lease a phone.  IMO

I lease a Supra. If I like to lease cars I would get a Tesla. 

I never had to lease anything otherwise. 

I have two cars, personal car I own, the business car I lease.  I do own my cell phone, paid in full when I bought it.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, with the number of miles I drive, I have never leased a car!

I leased one car and will never do that again. I am now leasing phones and at the end of the lease I owe it but during the meantime I get a better rate plan from my carrier. It actually saves me money. 

I am a buyer, not a renter, and most agents should spend more time promoting buying over renting.

Not on the car had no choice on the phone

I have never leased a car.  I prefer to purchase. 

I most likely would not lease a phone either. 

I'm in my first lease right now.  So far I'm way under the annual miles (the many benefits of most things being within 10 miles of me).  Leasing made financial sense even though I could afford to pay cash on the spot.  Let them take the "drive off" hit in value.  Plus if something new and "must have" comes out in three years, I can easily transfer over.  I do have to say though, this is a really weird feeling having a car payment for the first time ever!  Luckily, I have it on auto pilot now.  A bank account with enough to cover the full lease term in it and automatic payments each month.

I met with my tax accountant and I took a tax accounting workshop - and I've been told/instructed NOT to lease a car in 2018 because of the new tax laws.

Paul,

We follow our accountant's advice.  And I do know you can lease your phone in order to get the latest and greatest each year.  A

Car leasing makes sense for the indivudual who says so. On leasing a phone, it remains a choice for now. However, too many releases of new technologies will make the consumer lean toward leasing more to keep current & satisfied

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, I would not lease a car or a cell phone nor do I believe in car or phone payment plans.

I don't like to lease.

Too much pressure to keep it perfect 

Having been an auto salesperson no.

Not leasing just requires more detail to write off the vehicle and one has to remember the value will be less because of the miles and wear and tear.

No.
