Leasing was very popular about 8 to 10 years ago due to the fact that you could attain more car for less money if you will... however if you drive over 15,000 miles per year you will be penalized for the extra mileage.. If you look at the difference in payments for leasing vs. buying there is not much difference... I would say if you want to stay in a new car every 3 to 4 years and dont mind the mileage or added fees then leasing may be for you however if you are rough on a vehicle and go over the miles then your looking at a big expense when you go to turn the vehicle in.. The only people who lease now a days are companies or individuals who can write the expense off..... Go to Edmunds.com and look at there leasing vs. buying rates and schedules. that should give you a better understanding.. good luck

If it's a car I've wanted for years and am really passionate about, I'd buy it. If it's transportation that will be replaced in 3-5 years, lease it. I have never owned a car longer than 3 years. Also depends on the interest rates and your credit.

either way you lose money.....cars depreciate in value anyway once you drive it out of the dealership
