Best Answer

When the asset depreciates (loses value) fast and you want it only for a short period of time it may be better to lease than to buy. Leasing may also be a less expensive or more available method of financing than borrowing, particularly for someone with poor credit or little credit history, if you cannot afford to pay cash.
