It's fun to find a new car and take it for a test drive. But before you drive away, you have to decide if you're going to buy or lease your new vehicle. Knowing the difference between buying and leasing a new car can help you find a vehicle you love within your budget. Learn a little more before you head to your local auto dealership to take some of the pressure out of the decision-making process.
In the face of making a large decision, it seems like everyone offers their opinion on what they think you should purchase or lease. Some people argue that buying a car is better because you own the vehicle and can do what you want with it. Others prefer to lease because they can get into a new car every few years. But in the end, you have to choose a vehicle and a payment that's comfortable for you.
