I suspect Ramsey may be revisiting his advice about new cars and leases and changing it. In my experience, the increasing complexity of cars makes it less practical to keep them for a long time.

When I purchased my most recent company vehicle a few years ago, the sales manager at the dealership told me I was one of about 20% of his customers who bought vehicles instead of leasing them. I thought it was because everyone wants to drive the newest and best vehicles on the road, but he said there was a more practical side to it:

“Nobody wants to be driving a vehicle that isn’t under warranty anymore.”

I suspect he lied to you. Cars can easily gets 250,000 miles with limited maintenance.
