Always finance :)

I think that is a good idea as well, but you can lease a vehicle at a lower interest rate many time and at the end of the lease buy the vehicle for cash and/or finance the difference.

What are you thought on that? @nycryptotalk

i am not a fan of leasing because by the time your lease ends, the value of the car depreciates and buying it out is not worth it at the price they ask. Personal opinion.

That a a fair look at it. I think both options can be of value depending on your financial situation, if you have a business or if you plan to keep the car for short or long term.

True. I guess I don't drive enough miles for leasing to be worth it. Won't get my money's worth.
