Jay, you should think about leasing a new car every year with the amount of indecision and change for new cars.
Ok, that was the smartass remark.
Typically, 6.5 years is the cutoff.  If you typically keep your car for 6+ years or longer, financially you are better off buying.  That includes payment schedules and maintenance, including the I just ran out of my warranty maintenance after 4 years.
Anything less than 6 years, lease it.
I'm not suggesting to you Jay to make the deal, cause I think you should just sit back and think a while about all these decisions that your going to one day look back on and say what the fawk was I thinking, you should just put a litlle in the bank for a rainy day.
What about that girl your dating.  Every think of getting married?  You need $$$ for that.  Just ask Anthony what a wedding costs today.

So as the ING man says, save your money.
