is it better to lease a car or buy?

I say you are definitely better off buying your vehicle, especially if you can pay cash. When you lease a vehicle you have to worry about putting on too many miles and paying the fees for that based on your contract. If you just buy it then you don't have that concern. RENTING a car is for a shorter period of time and can be excellent if you have a trip where you want to drive several hundred miles to your destination.

Money wise it's always best to buy something which you know you'll need and use. If your going away on holiday then leasing is idea but if you planning on going to work isn't it best to pay for the car so you don't have to renew the deal? Depends on the case but buying always makes sense, except for the few exceptions of course. ~Joey

It is like renting! Why would you want to throw away the money and then give it back in a year or two??? I Buy, I won;t lease. THere are advantages though I guess. Not sure what they are but a lot of people lease.
