Cars depreciate so much and so fast that if you want to drive something new or different every 2-3 years then Lease. But do your homework before you sign a lease. Not all leases are equal. There is a lot of information online that give you the ins and outs of leasing. Also it might be better to get a lease with little or no money down and have higher payments. If you decide to buy look around for something a year or two old with low miles because it has taken the depreciation hit!
