Kia Optima Lease Questions

True, if you pick an unreliable car, the repair bills can be ugly. Especially if the car happens to be a foreign make, like a BMW. I used the LeSabre in my suggestion as it tends to be a good car overall. One does need to exercise prudence when buying a used car, but the advantage of waiting until a particular model is 10 years old is that there will be a well-established reputation for how well a car holds up (both mechanically and cosmetically). LeSabres also have the more-than-average chance of getting to live in a garage during most of its first-owner time, which means less weather/sun fatigue compared to say, a Kia Optima. I've not seen too many 10-year old Kia's that I would consider buying, based on condition alone.

You are also correct about the fact that leases are seldom a good deal for the everyday consumer of cars, regardless of what kind of car it is. I would say there are very few cars that I would be willing to pay $12,000 for the privileged of driving 36,000 miles . . . maybe a Bentley?
