Google tells me....
72% of BMW’s are leased. Which makes sense to me. About the time your beemer is due to crash into a wallet draining money pit of repairs.... the lease is up. Goodbye old beemer, hello new one.
Yes, my older brother leases his BMW.
Typically gets a new one every four years.
The guy in my office bought this one. It was a lease turn in. I told him he would have been better off buying a brand new Toyota Camry.
I think most Mercedes are also leased. I briefly considered buying an older Mercedes SL550. I was warned by several people that the maintenance costs are huge.
I also considered BMW 435 hard top convertibles. Same story as the Mercedes.
Now I am considering either a Infinty Q60 or a Lexus IS350C. These are both naturally aspirated V6 hard top convertibles. Both were designed to compete with the BMW 235-335-435 hard top convertibles.
Just something to drive other than my 2012 Tacoma.
