Car buying…Do I buy or do I lease?
You are considering buying a car. The
deal offers you a chance to lease the
car* rather than buy it.
What do you do?
* A lease is a fixed term contract (perhaps 36 months) to own
the car for that period of time. You pay the monthly lease
payments then return the car at the end of the term (36
months in this case).
