I lease because I don't put a lot of miles on my vehicle and I like driving a newer car.
What kind of car does everyone have? Year,make, and model

Had a 2010 Nissan Xterra sold it. I live 15 mins from work no need for it.

Tanks. Leased it when new. Why? Was single and it worked for me. Leased before, also. All leases worked for me at the time.
Yeah, wished they still made em too. Lease was up, came out with new Colorado. Didn't like that. Besides, INLINE 5? That's just wrong. So, just bought it. Don't need 4-wheel Dr. here, at least, not me. Sand in the back, posi, good tires, I'm passing everyone. Just now turned 80 thou, so could last forever.

2009 Scion tC...& have replaced about everything in it. Including clutch, transmission & battery. Previous owner must've beat on it pretty good. Bought it when it was a year old, with 22k. Now has 95k.

I also lease because I like a new car every few years. I don't put a ton of miles on mine either. It's actually a bad move to lease when you don't put a lot of miles on a car. The lease price is actually based on you using the 12k a year. Thinking about financing my next vehicle for that very reason.
You're doing the dealer a huge solid giving him back a car with with 22,000 miles (just an example) after 3 years.

Choosing how many miles is one of the toughest part of a lease. Choose too many and you are losing money at lease end. Choose too few and you may end up writing a check at lease end.
My last lease I still had 15K miles left when I turned it in.

Crazy story. About 3 car leases ago I handed the vehicle back in with about 8-10K shy of the allotted miles I was allowed to use. A few months go by and I receive a check from the bank my lease was thru, in the mail for about 3 grand. I was puzzled. The letter along with the check stated, that the vehicle was sold at auction after I handed it in and the check was my cut of the proceeds. I don't remember the exact wording but the letter also had a blurb about so few miles being on the car as well. I was totally confused. It was a lease. I didn't own the car. I was thinking it has to be a mistake.
I held onto the check for a few months thinking it had to be an error and the bank would come looking for it. Long story short they never did. I even checked around with a few car dealers just on the job while working. All of them said they'd never heard of such a thing. Only thing they could think of was that I had a lease where a security deposit payment was built in monthly and they were returning it at the end. To this day I'm still puzzled by that check.
