Maybe my sarcasm detector isn't working. Finance the purchase.

Other cons:
- Long-term, leasing a car is more expensive than buying. This assumes that the purchased car is kept for at least 5 or so years. The longer the purchased car is kept, the greater the difference paid.
- interest rates for leasing programs are usually higher than comparable finance
- IMO, leasing is often a form of living beyond one's means
