Sometimes lessees take less care of the car, they have no proprietary interest or reason to care, just minimal, if that, then dump the car at lease's end. All things being equal, I would avoid them in favor of one that had one fussy owner instead

Thats Ironic. A friend of mine went through 2 C70HPT convertibles. Those cars while really nice were total crap.
When shopping for a car you only have the car to go on. The old owner is long gone in most cases and would be utterly useless because most people think that they are taking care of their cars even when they are severely abused.
Rather than wasting your time tire kicking and trying to connect some kind of half a**ed logic to the best kind of car to buy why not take that time and learn about the engineering of the car instead? There are more concrete things you can look at such as design changes and improvements made to cars during their production run that are even stronger predictors as to the future reliablity of the car rather than trying to "guess" about old service records and who might have owned it.
