On the leased vehicle, I must be a better negotiator than you because my $539 monthly payment is all-in, I did not pay for taxes, title, acquisition fee, or any security deposit.
Not sure what "additional lease costs" are either as it doesn't match the sum off the taxes/title/acquisition fee that, again, I didn't pay.
On the purchased vehicle, I don't understand that either. There's a $3000 trade-in value and the monthly payments on a 5 year note with interest would well exceed the $549 monthly 'investment' you're showing.
There is no "cash" at the end of either option. The leaser is clean and can move on, the buyer has a car worth a few grand net of the repair costs which is almost a wash.
