Leases can be cheaper in the long run if they are negotiated correctly (I've been leasing cars since 1978).

Cars are not an investment, they are an expense. One successful formula for acquiring wealth is to minimize expenses and maximize investments. In other words spend all extra money on investments not Porsches!! So if you want a Porsche, lease it, invest the difference. IMO, You will almost always increase your net worth following this plan.
