We leased once and had a very good experience. We couldn't afford to buy new and had some very sad experiences buying used cars. The lease saved us a lot of money and at the end they were more anxious to have us buy it than taking it in for a new car. The other reason we wanted to lease was we wanted to get the Toyota Van and it was a brand new style for them. So if it didn't work out then we could turn it in. I drove it mostly to go round trip to work so mileage was not an issue. We are thinking about leasing again since we are aging and not sure how much longer we will be driving. My current car was a used car from a dealer and it was a great buy. I guess you need to determine what is right for you.
