If you like owning the same vehicle for years and years, getting the biggest return on your investment, than buying a new vehicle is likely the correct route for you. When you buy a new car, you'll probably have lower payments as well-as you'll have a longer time to pay off your vehicle. Once you pay off that note, then that car is all yours and you will be able to drive it until it no longer runs, hopefully many years after you first buy it.

However, there are legitimate reasons to prefer leasing a new car, though, too. For example, if you enjoy getting a new vehicle every few years, leasing a car is definitely the way to go. That way, you get to basically get yourself a Christmas gift every few years, turning in your old car for a new one. You have less responsibility when you lease a car, too, as you don't have to worry about it lasting for ten to fifteen years.
