I don't know of any circumstances where leasing makes sense, unless you just can't afford the vehicle. Tax incentives have diminished, and you just get raped leasing one way or another. The only exception may be if you turn your cars real frequently (every 3 years or so) and don't like to mod them.

I was going to buy but decided to lease at the last minute. I'm don't modify my cars at all and like riding brand new ones every fewyears.

I agree with Greg. Financially, it's not wise to lease a car.

The only way a lease makes any sense is if the vehicle is used and written off for business and/or is company paid for. Other than that you are kidding yourself leasing.

If you like to change cars every 3-4 years.. it makes perfect sense to lease cars. I have done it in the past and know a lot of people who do it.
