Buckeye, it's a personal preference.
Like others have said, if you are one that keeps the vehicle a long time and wants a car that is paid for, definately buy one.
We have leased the wife's last 3 out of 4 vehicles and will probably lease the next one in 2 years when this one is up. I have never put any money down on a lease (that's just plain silly to put money down with interest rates where they are).
With a growing family, our needs change a little every couple years. We usually buy my vehicles and lease the wife's. She gets a little nicer vehicle for less money and I know my wife and kids are in a newer vehicle with less likelihood of a breakdown than and older one.
The downside is that we always have a $400-500 car payment for her.
If you're going to trade the vehicle in 2-3 years anyways, leasing is much better. No hassle getting rid of the "old" vehicle, and at the 3 year point, you're probably upside down anyways.
When you buy, the monthly's are higher. Look at it this way, when the vehicle is 4 years old (on a 60 month buy), you are still paying the same thing per month that you were when it was new.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
