They get the purchase incentives. I'll give you a wierd example though, awhile ago there was a $3,000 lease incentive but only a $1,500 incentive for purchase on 9-3 Arc Verts, so this guy who coulda' paid cash, leases it for two years at practically no money factor, to gain the extra $1,500 incentive and pre-pays his lease which gets him a further lease discount. So he saved about $1,000 and had $25,000 in his pocket for two years to buy the car at the end, or not, not to mention the sales tax savings, not to mention gap protection, not to mention protection from diminished value.....
I believe the whole saying you alluded to about depreciating assets goes something like this: If it appreciates buy it. If it depreciates rent/lease it.
