Generally, there are only 2 reasons why you choose to lease over finance.

1. It's a business expense. This allows you to write off the amount of the car for tax purposes.

2. It's cheaper. Generally, IF you'll be changing cars every ~3 years or less, the total amount you pay in your lease will end up being less than the amount that you will lose in the depreciation of your car when you sell it.
