However, there are just too many sensors in some high end Germany made cars.
It's cool and functional, but these sensors are potential reliability
matters in the long run. Back to the topic, it's correct that the reasons
some Jap cars are more reliable are due to less sensors and simpler

1) You only pay sales tax on the depreciation/financing part, instead of on

, leasing can save you quite a lot on sales tax alone.

cars can also have tax deduction, but it's more complicated and slower.
