Leasing is also worth it if you are a low mileage driver and get a vehicle with solid resale value. I leased a 2005 Tacoma for 342 a month. Bought it out at 17,500 after three years and then sold it for 22,000. Put that difference towards a 2009 Tacoma down payment. I like new vehicles and only drive about 15,000 KM a year.
Be careful if you plan on just dropping off the vehicle at the dealership as they will want the windshield and tires replaced, as well as any other mechanical work taken care of. It is only worth going this route if you cant sell the vehicle privately for more than your buy-out.
