Frequently Asked Questions
Leasing is like renting a car for a fixed term, with lower monthly payments but no ownership. Buying means you own the car after paying off the loan, but monthly payments are higher.
The lease payment is the sum of depreciation (car price minus residual value divided by term) and a rent charge (car price plus residual value times money factor).
Car price, down payment, loan interest rate, lease money factor, residual value, and expected resale value significantly affect the comparison.
