Once you agree on the price there is no real total cost difference. When you lease a new car for 3 years your lease payments = the amount the car depreciates in 3 years.
If you had paid cash, financed or leased; the vehicle will still be worth the same amount in 3 years no matter how you paid for it..
For this reason your lease payments for business vehicles are easily deducted as the lease payment is the actual depreciation. If a business bought instead of leased then they have to depreciate it differently over time.
