As a dealer, perhaps you can tell us something, on average does a dealership make a bigger profit on a customer who leases, or one who purchases a car with a loan?
I remember once some years ago I was trying to buy an Audi, and the salesman was pushing leasing pretty hard. In his pitch he asked if I had a business of some sort, as if I did I could write off the lease payments. This was over 15 years ago, I don’t know if tax laws are different now, but if that is the case, that might explain why high end car buyers often lease, many are lawyers, business owners, sales reps etc who use their cars for business and can write off the leasing, not because they are smarter or have higher credit ratings than the average guy.
