leasing vs. buying a car?

Public Comments

1. I personally think buying a car is a much better deal than leasing. The amount you pay isn't that significantly different and you have something to show for it when you're done paying.
2. same as a house. you either own it or ya dont, no matter how much money you put into it.
3. If you want the most for your money buy it. Leasing may offer a business a tax deduction but so does buying. At least when you buy you have an asset that you can later sell. If you lease you end up with nothing.
4. Would definately buy. When you lease you are limited by the # of miles you can drive or you have to pay extra. When you lease you have nothing to show for all the money you put in the car. When you buy, you will have a great car for a very long time if you take care of it. When you buy, buy a car you really like with a good warranty, I personally suggest a toyota.
5. Leasing, to me, is for the rich that think its important to have new wheels every few years.
6. If you drive a lot then the Lease is not for you, otherwise leasing is a good option.
7. depends on u if u want to keep the car after 5 years then buy it if u want a new one every couple of years lease it remember if u buy at the end u have a 5 year old car that is worth 25% of what u paid for
