| Total Cost to Lease a New Vehicle versus Buying a
Used Vehicle |
People often times comparing leasing a new
vehicle with purchasing a used vehicle make the mistake of only comparing the
lease payment with their monthly loan payment. In reality, there are
several other factors that affect the total cost of ownership. In most
cases new vehicles will get better gas mileage than older ones. With the
high cost of gas, this difference can have a bigger effect than you think.
A newer vehicle will also have higher insurance costs and property taxes, but
will have lower repair and maintenance costs.
