SandmanYep, a lease is a special deal.

Well that certainly explains the vocabulary of "acquisition" instead of "purchase" or "buy".
Well, "acquire" means "buys or obtain (an asset or object) for oneself" so it really doesn't apply to a rented car. It's not his.
You get to use the car for a fixed fee, and unless you get a full service lease, you also get : 1. to pay for all maintenance services 2. to pay for the insurance, which is higher than for the same vehicle purchased. 3. In case of a total, how do you cover the gap between what the vehicle is worth and what the insurance company will pay the leasing company?
Buick has a 'special' lease program. Low mileage lease for 2 years with all maintenance included. Of course, if you buy a new Buick you also get 2 years of maintenance these days.
The funny part is that the cost of that maintenance if you just paid for it yourself would mostly be just some oil/filter changes. For GM's that's about $40 per event.

Well, from his life view he does have somewhat of a point: it is functionally just a liability until the pink slip (Title) shows up - - which in the context of his leases never happens.
I know, that's the fun part. :)
