I don't own my new 2017 car anyway, right now. I lease because it comes off warranty at the same time the lease ends and I don't really want to be paying out of pocket to fix all the fancy gizmos as they start breaking down. I love the backup camera, but if the car gets rear ended in four years, that alone is going to cost a lot of money to fix. And insurance isn't a guarantee anymore. If the airbags go off that pretty much means the insurance company is going to total the car instead of repairing it because replacing the airbag units is so expensive. I have a friend who had a four year old Ford Focus. Last year in the winter he slid through a stoplight and hit another car at about 10mph or so. There was some damage on the front end, but nothing that couldn't be repaired. But the front and side airbags went off, so the insurance company totaled the car because it would have cost more than $6k to fix the car and replace the airbags. Get a lease with comprehensive and gap coverage insurance, and leave the owning for old cars.
