Why Leasing Makes Sense for Exotic and Collector Cars

In this Barron’s feature, Putnam Leasing CEO Steven Posner lays out the case for leasing high-value cars like the Ferrari Dino, Bugatti Chiron, and Mercedes 300SL. Instead of paying upfront taxes and tying up capital, clients use open-end leases to stay liquid, reduce risk, and enjoy flexible ownership paths.

Whether acquiring a $5 million Porsche or rotating through Ferraris and Rolls-Royces, Putnam’s programs appeal to collectors, athletes, and enthusiasts who prioritize access, simplicity, and tax efficiency. For today’s high-net-worth driver, leasing isn’t a compromise — it’s strategy.
