when considering the two, which are the advantages?

How often would you change or upgrade to a new TM?

I have been thinking about buying a used one, but it may make more financial sense to buy or lease in respect to tax benefit.

What can I learn form these three options?

Thanks

I'm not a financial guy..
but don't go by the advertised lease price when counting beans .
find out what the actual out of pocket monthly payment is once property tax and fees are added
it will be substantially higher

If the lease is structured so that you buy the machine for 1 dollar at the end,it is treated the same as a purchase, and you get the same tax treatment. I am in such a lease and I take depreciation on the machine in addition to operating expenses, plus the difference between the purchase price and the total lease payments, are deducted as interest paid. I was able to qualify for a lease, but not a purchase when I needed a new machine.

If you lease it, you will probably end up paying close to DOUBLE the sticker price...
