What to look for when buying a car
Visit Forum Hub
You might want to look into both leasing and buying. When deciding whether to lease or buy a car, the biggest mistake people make is looking only at the monthly payment. A low lease payment doesn’t always mean it’s cheaper, and a higher loan payment doesn’t always mean it costs more long term.
What really matters is:
How much you’ll pay in total over time
How much the car will be worth when you’re done
How much you’ll spend on fuel, maintenance, and repairs
Leasing often makes sense if you:
Want a newer car every few years
Drive a predictable number of miles
Prefer lower repair risk
Buying often makes sense if you:
Keep cars a long time
Drive high mileage
Want to build equity in the vehicle
The easiest way to compare them fairly is to plug the same car, price, term, and down payment into a calculator.
It makes the decision much clearer than just guessing based on the monthly payment.
