I've always wondered this, as I could never figure it out.

After all you're paying monthly installments to rent a car, that eventually you will have to give back.

Why not just buy a car? Then you can re-sell, and at least you have something under your name.

When you lease a car it doesn't even belong too, if anything happens the stealership can take it back, and you're left with nothing.

So basically I ask, why did you choose to lease? And what advantages, if any, are there to leasing?

EDIT: Can this be moved to Off-Topic?
