The choice of either leasing or buying a car depends on the original price of the car; depending on the price, either leasing or buying can be the better option. However, buying a car is usually cheaper than leasing it.
You can find out about leasing versus buying a car on How Stuff Works. Other places with info about leasing versus buying cars is dmunds, and NN's site as well.
When you have paid off the loan the car becomes yours. When leasing a car it never becomes yours.
Buying a car has many advantages as well as disadvantages. Opposed to buying a car you have to pay a lot of money compared to leasing. In the end, it all depends on the balance of your bank account and how much do you think you should spend.
Buying or leasing is a personal preference. There are advantages and disadvantages to both ways. In leasing, you use the car for a specified number of years, making payments on it just as you would if buying, except that at the end of the lease, you return the car to the dealership and basically walk away owing nothing more. When purchasing/buying, one assumes all the costs of maintenance as well as depreciation values.
IMO, Avatar Vehicles is the best option. They offer Car Leasing, buying in Scotland.
it depends on how much you are going to use the car because if you just go to work and back leasing but if you are going to use it everyday then i would buy a car but it really depends on what your budget is =]
From what I understand buying a car is better. When you lease, you are given a certain amount of kms to use (usually around 20 000km per year) and if you go over that amount then it can cost you BIG bucks. Also, if any damage is larger than a credit card, you usually have to pay for it. Sometimes after leasing people buy the car because it costs too much to fix the car and pay for their extra kms.

There are many arguments for and against leasing over buying and visa versa and as such it is ultimately subjective. That said the benefits of leasing over buying outright is the option to change the car more frequently andnot having to pay out one large lumps sum. If at the end of the contract some companies then would offer to sell the car for a reduced cost as the depreciation of the car would be taken off the initial cost of the car when it was first entered into leasing.
With auto leasing the monthly payments are usually lower than they would be if you were buying the car. You can upgrade sooner, or more often with a car lease. However, you will usuually pay more interest with a lease and you will not own the car, therefore you do not generate any equity.

When you lease a car, you don't own it as you do when you buy one with a loan. When Leasing you are only paying for the time you use the vehicle, Imagine the Car cost $10,000 when the car is returned in 3 years time the finance company may say the car is going to be worth $5,000 you are only financed on the remaining $5,000 thus making your monthly payments cheaper, where as if you buying the car outright then you will be financed for the whole car, add in its depreciation it often works out cheaper to lease the car
