I think the lease thing is more to avoid dealing with any maintenance issues as well as the wear and tear on a less than new car. It’s not to get the newest tech or style all the time AFAIK.

Avoiding repairs, even if some of them might be expensive, is still insanely cheaper than leasing a new car every 3 days.

People lease for many factors, not just to avoid tear and maintenance.

I don’t understand what you mean by avoiding repairs being cheaper. In order to avoid repairs you need to have a relatively new car all the time, and leasing is an easy way to achieve that.

What other reasons do people lease?

Somehow that works for clothing vendors, though.
