My cars look as good as the day they left the dealer when new. My trade in for the X was a '94 325is that the dealer said would back right into the showroom when I dropped it off.
My cars don't have bumper or kerb rash, nor do they have scratches or dings (thank God), so I'm not affraid of leasing. At times, as Trex pointed out, leasing may cost less than buying.

As an attorney who has had several leasing cases, I would never lease. You are at the mercy of the dealer's definition of "normal wear" on the vehicle. I have had clients charged a premium for what they considered standard wear and tear. It ended up costing them legal fees, etc. even though they won. So, buy it outright if you can afford to.
