I have some friends that only lease cars because they want a new one every two years. It doesn't matter if the car is perfectly OK and in great shape, they want a new car. They'll even lease the same car again.

I imagine car companies love them :).

Is there some tax-favorability to leasing cars?

Not usually. In fact where I live (NH) the taxes work against it. Your annual fees are based on cars value. I was previosly doing a new lease vehicle every year (two vehicles on 2-year lease terms with staggered renewal years).

Now we buy and hold vehicles for 5-10 years.
