Just as bad. It's 100% rip off. You're forced to keep the mileage under a certain amount and car above a good condition. You pay off about 50-75% of the car and then give it back for free and then they resell the vehicle at 75-85% of the purchase price, but they make about 1.5 times the cost of the vehicle
The naive me in the past got tricked into leasing an EV and buying what I thought was a cheap unlimited oil change service package for an electric vehicle ($200). This was before EVs were popular. I did not realize then EVs don't have motor oil to change.
Let the buyer beware lesson right here.
interesting.... It was Nissan that did this to me too with the Nissan Leaf. I promised myself never to buy another car from their dealership. They have some shady practices
To add, 1.5 years after end of my lease, I found out they forgot to close my lease account leaving $5 balance on the account and had sent it to collections with a derogatory remark. It made getting a home mortgage more difficult.
