I've been leasing with Nissan since 2001 and I love it. I've been through 2 Xterras and now I have a Murano.

If you like the idea of having a new car every 3 years, then you should lease. What advantages are there to owning a car, other than being able to say it's yours? There's no benefit to owning a product that depreciates as soon as you take it home. But at least your credit will get some good marks if you buy through financing.

A house is different. Most markets will allow you to make your money back and then some -- but a car is throwing money away right off the bat.

My father-in-law bought one of those Mercedes convertibles for like $90k a few years back. He just traded it in on a $45,000 BMW, and still had to shell out a few thousand. I just don't see the beauty in that deal.
