NO rich person is going to lease so that a dealership can dictate to them how many miles they can drive and what they can and can't do to the car!
Most of us have multiple cars. My M3 is almost exclusively a weekend car. I would have to drive 250 miles every single weekend to get over my miles, which is difficult when you have a family and are taking the SUV most of the time.

here you go Mr. Bilzerian, a brand new Ferrari, oh by the way you can't put but 150 miles on it per week and if you don't bring it back in immaculate condition we're going to charge you out the ass for any tears in the seat that you're hot ass sluts put in them with their stilettos ..
Most Ferrari leases are open ended and most Ferrari owners don't put more than a few thousand miles per year because of the depreciation and they have multiple cars. Additionally, whether or not a Ferrari is leased or purchased, wear and tear like the tears in the seat diminishes the value. Most owners will have them fixed just to get the max price for when they sell the car. So either way, you are "paying" for any and all damages to the car, leased or purchased. Let's get real: most Ferraris are sold, not kept. That's what makes them financially viable. What is unique about these super high end cars is that they don't depreciate like our cars do. With an open ended lease, payments are kept at a reasonable amount until the car is sold to a new owner. Since most of the car's expense is at the end of the lease term (open ended lease remember?), the original leaser only pays a portion of it. Selling it for close to, or in the most ideal situation for rare Ferraris, over the MSRP, reduces the out-of-pocket significantly. This is how some people I know can get a new Ferrari every year and not be $250k in the whole each time. You accused me of pulling the big guns or trying to claim credibility by bringing up some friends who are much more well off than me. But by socializing with a wider group of people, rich or poor, one can gain a lot of insight into things that they normally wouldn't. They humble me, they teach me a few things, and they give me added perspective. Sue me if I use what I have learned to try be more informed.

lol
After I defended someone else's 328i you attempted to slam me for mine:

I don't even mind if you slam my 328i. The 328i I was originally referring to was this one:

So you've slammed 2 328i's. Why? Because you have an M5? Frankly, a '14 M5 or a '19 M5 doesn't excuse you from belittling others.

You are wrong because plenty do. I could bring up a real example, but the last time I did that you accused me of bringing out the big guns and trying to get credibility.

This is where perspective is important. If leasing doesn't work for you, that's fine. That doesn't mean it doesn't work for anyone else. To get back on topic, what's your beater car?

Lol yeah that's a good message! Some of us, however, have a weekend car not because we can't live in it on the weekend, but that it does the weekend stuff so much better than our commuter.

When I first got on the job I had a 5 litre Mustang, a bit of a sleeper at the time. Had a nice stereo and it was my pride and joy. First new car I bought. I also got a Suzuki Samari 4WD, I was stationed about 50 min from home outside the city in a rural area that got lots of snow. It wasn't really comfortable but honestly never broke down, kept me warm and got me where I was going. I kinda miss it.

Mine was just like this except black on black. Ah to be young.....

I found it funny, I bought my beater to hopefully save some money over winter (using 87 gas vs 94 and such) and limit damage and wear to car but because its a big fat SUV im spending way more on gas and insurance, so nice car stay nice but my wallet does not

2007 4.8 X5, love it but in retrospect wouldn't do it again. Would get an FJ, looks are love it or hate it but I could put a couple hundred thousand worry free miles on it and they hold their value shockingly well.

I drive hard and put a tremendous value on my everyday commute. I could never drive some cheap daily if I had something that I truly valued in my garage doing nothing.
