So first of all, absolutely don't buy it right now. When your lease is coming due you can negotiate the purchase price of your car lower than your residual. For example, my lease is up now and the residual is $31k. The dealer will actually sell it to me for $27k. That is a $4k swing in my favor. See what I mean?

I elected not to buy my lease out and ended up leasing a new one, but that is besides the point. Make sense?
