He's only partially incorrect. In some cases it makes sense, but it is more expensive overall than buying.

1. How are you going to sell it for more than you bought it for after 3-5 years?

At the end of a lease term there is a fixed purchase cost option the leasee can

Or you take that $13,800 (3000+36*300) and buy a nice, reliable 2 year old car

Um, what 2 year old car are you buying for $13,800? Probably some boring

Most vehicles have little to no equity at the end of the lease. Some (namely Trucks and SUVs) do, but all that means

Agreed. That's why you lease a vehicle that does have value after a lease.

One time because it made sense for my work vehicle. But I doubt I'd run into the situation where I would do it again.
