I'd expect these to end up being the same. While there won't be a significant difference between the two -- you can always buy the car at the end of the period -- I'm planning on leasing/options. I look at it as a trouble free three year long test drive. LOL If at the end of three years you like the car you can buy it. If you don't or are attracted by a nice new spiffy version, you can turn it in.

The only downside IMO is you lose the ability to time your purchase.

Some people are in special situations. If I drove 25K miles a year I'd probably buy.
my thoughts exactly.

In general, I think it is better to apply for a car rental agency. It saves you from a lot of issues at once. For example the absence of maintenance. Also, you can easily rent a luxury car that you won’t be able to afford in your daily life. Insurance on a vehicle makes life easier too. If I need to take a loan, I contact kviklanet.dk. Installment payment looks attractive. However, purchases don’t exceed a certain money threshold. The last one was a phone.

Ford Options is not a lease. Turning it in would only make sense if market price was less than residual value.
