Leasing and Buying: What's the Difference?
So what are the differences between these two financing options? The main difference is that, when you buy a car, you gain ownership of it. Leasing, on the other hand, is more akin to renting: you don't own the car.
Furthermore, when you buy a car you often have to take out an automotive loan to cover the initial cost. This loan amount is then broken down over a period of months, which becomes your monthly payment. Leasing is often less expensive on a monthly basis because there is no automotive loan involved - rather, you pay a fixed monthly amount for the life of your lease.
Last, but not least, when you lease a car you have to adhere to mileage parameters. When you buy a car, you can drive it as far and as often as you want without having to worry about that.
