Asked by k

If a person wanted to purchase his or her dream car, and keep it for many years, is leasing or buying the better option? Why?
a.
Buying would be the better option because the overall cost would be less. After the car is paid off, the owner gets much more value from the car, having already paid it off.
b.
Leasing would be the better option, so the newest model could be driven every few years.
c.
It wouldn't matter, as long as the person got to drive the dream car.
d.
Leasing would be the better option because it would allow the person to customize the car and drive it as much as he or she wants.

a.

Buying is better if you plan to keep the car for many years. Once it’s paid off you own the asset (no monthly payments), you avoid ongoing lease payments, you can customize it, and you aren’t limited by lease mileage or wear‑and‑tear rules. Over the long run ownership is usually cheaper than continuously leasing.
