Alas, poor Yaris, I knew him well

Isn't the idea of a lease that you pay enough per month to cover the depreciation of the vehicle for the time that you have it? Would I be any better off one way vs the other?

You're probably right. It appears Toyota only offers 12 or 15,000 miles/yr leases. I believe some companies offer higher mileage deals.

As long as you except the cost of your car buying addiction, then it's obviously your decision and we shouldn't judge.

Just curious as to your reasons:

Is it because you get bored with cars very quickly?

Is it that you feel you bought the wrong car after a year?

Is it that you simply have to have that brand new fresh car all the time?


You gave your reasoning as to why you got a Corolla S, which I myself love.
It makes perfect sense to want something a bit bigger with more comfort and features. Yet still efficient and economic. You won't get an argument from me.

Thing is, next year what will be the reason for trading in your Corolla S? The next generation Yaris?
