I know some people aren't great at budgeting so I totally understand why someone would do this up front, however it seems foolish on the outside.

Devil's advocate tho...if you're not trying to lower the overall debt on the car for future sale options then the money would be more useful in your savings account. For instance savings can pay higher car payments or cover the payments if you're out of work or pay the deficit in the event of a total loss.

The only reasons I can see for leasing a car is if it gets covered by your employer (they lease it for you but you can pick). I've never really believed any of the other reasons (lower payments, service plans, etc.) were worth the hassle.
