Default keeping it vs. give it back at end of lease ?

I'm a newbie trying to figure out those who own ? and those who lease ?

I assume to those who lower, add rims, and modify their s2000's that you all are keeping yours ? Because I don't think you'd be able to return the car with all those mods to it ?

So how many of you are keeping or financing your s2000 as opposed to "giving it back" after your lease period ?

what are your reasons for doing one over the other ?

thank you

give it back.

it's just a honda. in three years there will probably be something better. you can mod the car since most mods you can take off and sell when you're done. i bought mine w/ the intention of keeping it stock (although it's hard!)

i got a 3 year lease, 3 year warranty. no problems, no headaches, just driving. that's what I wanted. after the warranty is up, who knows?

i got a great lease, but plan on keeping it. i can't bear the thought of someone else driving my car.

i do reserve the right, however, to change my mind......

I bought. I keep my vehicles pristine, and they tend to accumulate low miles - leasing does not reward this, whereas resales values will be higher. I probably will trade the S2k on something else in 3,4,5 years - but I still can't get my head wrapped around 'renting' a car - I want to own it...
