Buy or lease?

Buying is always a better deal, as you can get years of service from a vehicle after it’s paid off. If you lease, you will always be making car payments. When you buy a car, you know exactly what the price is. Lease terms, however, are confusing and it can be hard to tell exactly what you’re paying for in interest and fees versus the car itself. Guess who benefits when the consumer is confused? Unless you have tax reasons for leasing—maybe you’re a business owner who can deduct the payments—you’re better off buying. But, you say, for the same monthly payment you can get a nicer car if you lease. That is true. But if you can’t afford to buy that car, you can’t afford that car.
