The choice between buying and leasing a vehicle can be a pretty tough call. Buying requires a higher monthly cost, but you own the car. Leasing has a lower monthly payment and allows you to drive the latest and newest models. However, you never stop paying for the vehicle and you are on a miles restriction. We have gathered some pros and cons of each to help you decide which option is best for your situation!
