24month least on a 2014 S63 would've cost me (if I recall correctly) 60k, whereas I could buy a used 2010/2011 S63 with well less than 40k miles for about $45k plus warranty.
I'd rather buy a CPO car, rather than lease... at least a large chunk of the car has already been depreciated, and it's still new enough and in good enough condition to get a warranty.
buy a new car and lose 50% value (what you paid) in 2 years.
buy a CPO car and lose 20% value (what you paid) in 2 years.
I take that back... would've cost me $96k to lease it for 2yrs with 10k down, and about 60k remaining at the end of the lease... and after 2yrs, i'll be out $106k and have no asset.
or I can buy a 2010 S63 for under $60k, and after 2yrs i'll have an asset worth $40k.
unless you have disposable income, leasing is retarded.. or unless your company is leasing it and you can deduct it from your taxable income or pay for it with pre-tax dollars, in which it'll be like paying only $74k for the 2014, but still be without an asset in 2yrs....
eh, who cares. I'm not taking financial advice from "the rock", who gets his financial advice from a group of others with degrees and no time to explain to him the who's what's when's or why's of why they want to do XZ&Z with his money.
