I'm not asking about whether to lease or not, I was in college and working, and my dad was making the lease payments to help me. We didn't have enough cash for a beater, so it made sense in my situation.
But now that the lease is up, I have a 2016 Hyundai that's been well maintained, with 35k miles on it. The online quotes keep saying it'll be around $13k to buy-out. I know buying it is not the most perfectly frugal thing to do, but I take some comfort in knowing that I'm the original owner and have maintained it well to this point. My plan is to pay it off in a few years, keep maintaining it, and drive it til it dies. Just looking for some confirmation that this is a decent way to go.
