The expense of leasing: Does it save cash?

The price of leasing a car or truck versus the cost of buying one isn't a black-and-white issue; it all is based on how long you intend to have your vehicle for. Studies on car ownership, leasing and depreciation recommend a three-year lease as a financially sound period of time. From a short term standpoint, leasing a car or truck for a span of three years will make for a smart decision financially; deposits on leases are low, your monthly installments will be cheaper than a car loan payment, and you'll typically not need to worry about repair fees as your car is under warranty. If you are looking to own your car for a long time, or be driving lots of miles, purchasing the vehicle may be the best option for you.
