But wait, at the end of 10 years you have a car to drive!

I find it hard to believe that leasing a car for 10 years, versus paying off a car in 6 years will only be $6k more!! Almost impossible I'd say.

The assumption that finances will always be good, that everyone will remain fully employed and people's 'personal economies' always growing are a pivotal part of the 'lease decision'...just like our current national economy, assumptions like that can have dire consequences.

Everyone should have at least reliable transportation bought and paid for.... IMHO
