and there you were telling her "Leasing also allows you to get more car for the money, as lease payments are much lower than buying, especially if you can find a special." Both statements are blatantly untrue.
So you lease a car for 3 years for $300 a month plus your $3K down, or you buy a car and make payments of $475 a month for 3 years. Leasing, you spent $13800 to drive someone else's car. Payments, you spent $17,100 but still have probably $10K of car left. So sell it and take the $10K off your $17,100 and you have? $7100 is what it cost you to drive it for 3 years. So $13,800 vs. $7,100. Not too hard of a math problem there.
