[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15875034, member: 121775"] [MEDIA=youtube]r2H8Oqm1eQ4[/MEDIA] He actually made a strong point. When expensive cars are leased more often than purchased, there's really no need for them to be super reliable beyond a typical lease period. Even with outright purchases, the owners of higher end cars don't keep them much beyond 3 or 4 years before trading up for the next new thing.
