Thats a boat load of money just to walk away from it in 3 years, surely a 3 year old 550 is worth a few bucks more then 18k!
I prefer to buy at the best rate I can get for up to 60 months, at the 3 year mark or so I will much less then you did and at the worst break even on selling it.
Also, with leases you worry about mileage, damage, every flipping thing is a heartache about turning it back in.
Unless there is some sort of business tax relief going on, even then idk, leasing always seemed to me to be a way for people to get into a car that they cant afford to buy which some may argue is why the economy is tanked.
