    No, but I have owned plenty in my lifetime, I'll say this if you are homeless and broke and need a place to live, a lease purchase a good deal, if not it's a scam. You can try and justify it any way you want, but if it's such a money maker how come so many fail? not everybody is wrong.

    Actually you made a generalization that was so broad it was false.

    Nope, not one of them is designed for success, only maximizing carriers profits. If your talking about the dollar down dollar a week truck sales places they're they same way predatory lenders.

    I would bet any amount that the success to failure rate is very very one sided.

    I agree with this statement. The cause of the failure is likely where our disagreement lies.

    I'm going to have to agree with you,i would say roughly 10% are successful in the lease program.How I see it is you're nothing more then a glorified company driver.

    IDK what the success rate is or how it is measured, is see ads saying 12 - 1600 a week fixed expenses, it's not sustainable. The last 3 new trucks I had were less than 1/2 that, trying to start at the top is a design for failure.
