I was told it "could" be done, but NOT thru Mitsu; instead a private company would handle the lease and the crappy payment would be like buying anyway....

 

Anyone who plans to keep their Evo for a long time is much better off with a purchase, even if you have to finance it. However, if you are one of those people who sell of their Evo after 12 months to get the latest one, then you may actually be better off with a lease. The biggest downside is that you got to keep it stock.

 

my dealer said no leasing allowed, but yea i think you shoudl just purchase, leases are no fun... you can mod, its just u better keep the stock parts and be willign to pay extra..

 

leasing is usually for individuals who get a car strictly to get from point A to B or to have the option to upgrade every few years

in the end though, you have nothing to show for those payments made to lease

 

I leased. Got a really good money factor on a Wells Fargo lease and WF leases are fully assumable after 6 months--transfer to someone w/no liability. I put Zero down, no drive off, and my payment is very low.
