What is the difference between buying and leasing a car?

  • Buying: When you buy a car, you take out an auto loan and make monthly payments until the vehicle is yours. Once you finish paying off the loan, you own the vehicle and can keep it as long as you want. This is often a better option if you plan to keep the car for many years. 
  • Leasing: Leasing is like renting a car for a set period. You make monthly payments, but at the end of the lease term, you return the vehicle to the dealership. Leasing often has lower monthly payments compared to buying, which can make it more attractive if you prefer to drive a new car every few years. However, you may end up paying more over time when you lease vehicles instead of purchasing one.
