Its almost always better to lease a car because a car is a depreciating asset. There are only a few times where buying a car is more advantagous then buying:

1) you own a car for 7 years or more. (most people buy or trade in a car every 3-5)
2) you drive more then 15k miles per year
3) you want to modify your car


Here is a link for your reading pleasure on buy vs leasing.

Please don't give people horrible advice.
+1. You honestly hit all the points.

Sadly, I drive a lot more than their monthly limit.
I don't want the car to be checked for every freaking bump/scratch that most definitely will happen.
It also feels much better when you are driving YOUR car.
