My opinion:
As with nearly everything, cash is the cheapest way to make a van purchase, and large discounts can be negotiated with the dearlership. Leasing is simply idiotic, although an easy way to have a new vehicle. It is just another way money is transferred from the plankwitted to those with more than an ounce of intelligence.

Leasing is nearly always a financial blunder.

There is another option.
Get the mug car company to give you a free deposit.
Charge you 0% over 4 years.
Pay a modest final sum and it's all yours.

Don't forget to get it serviced before you go on the Vindaloo tour this next
year; it would be a bummer if it broke down.
