There is another reason to lease - it is a total business write-off. You can only write-off the depreciation of a vehicle if you buy. Plus, you have to keep track of miles and be able to prove business use.
If you lease, the entire lease payment is a write-off. I have owned my own business since I was out of college and I have used this write-off to "hide" some income...
