Out of Spec Reviews breaks down the buying vs. leasing debate. Here’s the Daily Car Blog take:
If you’re a private buyer, leasing is just throwing money away. It’s smarter to lease through a business, where you can leverage tax breaks — but make sure you’ve got a solid tax advisor on your team.
Leasing means handing the car back at the end of the term, so you’re left with no asset after all that cash is spent.
DCB tip: Don’t buy new — go for a car that’s two or three years old. Let someone else take the depreciation hit.
It’s not rocket science, folks. It’s just common sense.
