Buying vs. Leasing a Car (Pros and Cons)

Рет қаралды 2,193,048

In this video I discuss whether you should buy or lease a car. So which is the better option? The truth is that there are two aspects to this decision.
There is the mathematical decision, and the personal situation decision. Some people like to drive new cars every three years, so they think it's better to lease a car. Some people like to drive cars longer than those three years and take care of their vehicle, so buying a car may be a better option for them.
Leasing a car is generally better if you're the type of person who likes new cars every three years. There are pros and cons to leasing a car vs buying a car. Some of those Pros is that you know you'll have a modern vehicle with all the updated amenities. However there are also some restrictions when leasing a car that you should be aware of.
Buying a car is generally the better option if you were someone who likes to hold on to their vehicles and likes the repair and work on them yourself. if you hold on to your vehicles for five or more years, it usually makes all the sense in the world to buy it and drive it into the ground. The person who owns their car can also sell their car at the end of ownership allowing them to recover some value of the vehicle. You can't do this if you lease your car.
Watch the entire video to find out if you should buy or lease your car!

It was easiest to use the numbers from the Khan Academy video below because there are SO many different situations when it comes to Buying vs. Leasing a car that CANNOT be covered in one video. There are so many different makes, models, and manufacturer incentives that change over time. I decided to stick to a general overview for this video, along with my personal opinion at the end. For the original numbers please see the link below. Thanks again for watching! :)

Do you have consistent income? Do you like having a new car every 2-3 years? Do you not mind having a car payment of about $400-500 a month (minus insurance)? Do you not drive much or live close to your job? Do you like the piece of mind that if something weird happens to your car, about 95% of the time, you will not be responsible for it? If yes, then leasing might be for you! Do you have limited income, are you car savvy or know a mechanic, do not care for a new car all the time, don't mind getting a used car with a payment of about $200-400 a month, and want the peace of mind knowing you can do whatever you want with the car? Then buying is for you!

Real life scenario, my friend and I got the same truck, same day, same price. He financed over 7 years with a down payment of $1,500. At a payment of $256 biweekly. For a total price of $48,000 over the 7 year term. I leased 3 years with a down payment of $2k. At a payment of $141 biweekly. After 7 years I will have paid $31,660 for leasing 3 trucks. His truck might still be worth around $10k after 7 years that he sells. So he paid $38,000 + the possible cost of repairs and maintenance. (Excluding oil changes) Where as I paid $31,660, drove 3 brand new trucks and had $0 in possible repairs and maintenance.

While I completely agree with you in the case of this type of car - a sub-compact at $17,700 - leasing can end up being the better choice for certain situations. Particularly with some luxury cars or high end trucks, where you're going to be hit with much greater depreciation rate and more expensive repairs when it's out of warranty. You also face certain risks in ownership that you don't in leasing, such as the diminished value you'll get from your car if you get in an accident at some point (even if the damage is repaired) or if the car turns out to be a lemon. And depending on your personal cash flow and/or how actively you invest, the value of the lower monthly payments in lease and having more liquid cash on-hand also shouldn't be ignored when considering options.

@Mr.PM1993 2 жыл бұрын

well, if you lease the car, and have an accident you will be crushed by the company, because you have to send it to a repair shop that the company agreed upon, and that's very expensive, and also while you want to return it you have to pay some money because you damaged the car, my opinion buying that piece of **** , and then you have a total feeling of owning it, and not everyday thinking if something happened to it, how much I have to pay the company.

@SunsetSheen 4 жыл бұрын

Excellent video. One other thing to consider is the opportunity cost of the difference in money spent on purchasing vs leasing ($465 - $159 = $306/mo). Provided you return the car after the lease term ends, that’s a difference of $11,016 over 36 mos. True, you are forfeiting any equity in that car and were essentially just “renting” it for 3 years. However, you did likely get a lot of utility out of it, so that saying of flushing money down the drain that a lot of people parrot mindlessly isn’t entirely accurate. Putting that $11k to use on an investment or side hustle will likely generate far better returns (both monetarily and in terms of educating you), than the relatively nominal difference that would have been saved by purchasing over leasing then buying the car out ($1,184). Either lease a car to keep your monthly overhead low, return it when the term is over, and reinvest the difference into an asset that kicks off cashflow. OR buy a pre-owned car that’s 2-3 yrs old and has already depreciated substantially at someone else’s expense. Purchasing a brand new car is one of the worst investments a person can make. You’re buying a depreciating product which consumes a large chunk of your monthly income that you have to pay out of pocket to maintain. Buy used or lease new.

Leasing is an incredibly viable option. Cars are an expense, and when you lease you don’t have to worry about the inevitable repairs and maintenance your car will need. And you get to always drive the newest cars with the best safety features. Selling a used car when you’re done with it is a huge pain as well. Leasing is much better for anyone with a decent influx of money.

I've done both. Basically, if you like to drive a new car every 3-5 years, go with the lease. If you keep your car until the wheels fall off, then buy. Leasing does offer some advantages over financing..... 1) You can transfer the contract to anyone else. 2) You can drive a luxury car at an economy car payment. 3) You pay sales tax on the payment and not the entire vehicle. 4) You don't have to worry about trade-in value, just turn in the keys. Of course there's also downsides such as needing to carrying higher insurance limits, mileage limits, GAP insurance and fees like bank & disposition fees.

I lease as often as I can. I always trade them in for a different car, always have a positive equity when I trade in. I like most people always have car payments.

No maintenance cost, and new car every 3 years!

(yes-buy, no-lease) Do you prefer to have "newer" things? (yes to both...) Don't take this as professional advice as it's just supposed to help you think.

Not sure what you ended up doing, but if you are looking at a quality vehicle that lasts, I’d say buy instead of lease. I was one of those people that constantly bought and traded in after like a year, and then leased a car for 3 years. I purchased an ‘11 Lexus suv with 32k back in like 2014, then traded it in a year and a half later for an Audi 2 dr then traded my Audi for a lease on a brand new civic touring. I liked the option of the civic. Anyway, now I’m looking for another car and I wish I had just kept my Lexus because it would’ve been paid off by now and I’d have a relatively nice quality vehicle with less than 100k miles on it. But if I want that same vehicle now, I’d have to find one with low miles and I’m looking at spending another $15k on top of all the money I’ve already spend to end up with no vehicle.

@Mford1212 4 жыл бұрын

A car is a lifestyle decision. I don't care if my clients buy, rent, lease, take the bus, I don't care. The most financially efficient thing to do is take the bus with a free pass or steal a bike. Some want fancy cars, some want roller blades. I don't give a damn. The car they drive is a personal choice. But if you pay 17,700 for a car and sell it for 12,000 you did not purchase an asset. You purchased a liability. All cars are liabilities unless you are using it to make money. It is purely a lifestyle choice. The only thing that matters is that they are saving enough money and getting a high enough rate of return to live in the future the same way they are living today adjusted for inflation without their money running out before life expectancy. So if leasing a car, like in your example, allows them to save $300/mo that gets a person to save the required amount to live in the future the way they are now, when they cant't work anymore. Then saving the $300 is worth leasing

Just because a car is new, does not mean it won't have issues. Now I'm negative in my car and can't wait to pay it off to get something different. Whether you decide to lease or finance, just do your research on the vehicle beforehand and make sure you really like it!

I've run this scenario on a few different cars. I've found that it's a hit or miss, depending on the terms they give you for the lease. The muscle cars always worked out to heavily benefit the buyer, whereas brands like Mercedes Benz nearly always benefit the leaser, assuming the buyer also sells after 36 months and buys a new luxury car. You can keep it longer and it begins to balance out, but if you're the type of person who's already sold on buying luxury, you probably always want the newest one, so the lease will be your best option.

Sadly you can watch how ever many videos you want on this topic but it still doesn't change the fact that it boils down to preference. For the person that wants the latest technology, safety features and new designs leasing is always a better option; but for those that like the ownership aspect as well as the hands on approach, purchasing is the better option. The only part that I would like to add is to the terminology, in my opinion you're "renting" both. You don't own either car through either method unless YOU complete paying through whatever method whether leasing, leasing to own, or purchasing. People preach ownership, ownership, but "lease" the latest iPhone... Remember to DO what FITS YOUR lifestyle.

Appreciate the video, thanks. Glad you mentioned it’s vehicle specific. I’ve leased many times where it ended up being cheaper over 3 years to lease vs buy and sell because the finance arms had inflated residuals that gave a good lease rate, but 3 yrs later the vehicles didn’t hold value as expected so selling it wouldn’t have netted the proper amount. I’d like to see a video explaining MF, converting to a APR, and the intricacies of lease payments with regards to all of the initials fees so one can easily see how most dealers rip you off on the lease rates. So many times the lease rates equate to a vehicle sale price significantly higher than sticker because the math for leases remains a mystery for many. Dealers perpetuate this myth by stating lease calculators aren’t always accurate, and ultimately that’s a bunch of bull. I’ve explained leases to friends many times, and I’ve negotiated many leases with proper math and end up with favorable rates, but 99% of the country simply doesn’t do the math on them. Obviously you prefer to buy, but with how many people out there ending up leasing it would be nice for them to go in more educated. Thanks again!

Never buy new (let someone else eat the depreciation. Always lease a high end vehicle like a Benz Audi or BMW. Another thing I've come to learn is having one leased vehicle and one bought vehicle helps with payments and also helps with maintenance cost. What you save on the lease payments can go towards the bought vehicle. Plus that lease vehicle will always be under a bumper to bumper warranty so in theory you will never be down two vehicles at the same time if something were to happen. Which if you have my luck... it does

I've owned and leased cars and it is a no brainer to me that leasing is better. + Car insurance costs are the same whether you are leasing or owning the same vehicle (unless of course the vehicle is paid off). + I've leased mini coopers, bmw's, mercedes and I've spent $0 on maintenance costs. I do not have to pay for tires, brakes, oil changes, etc. So that is ALOT of money you are saving by leasing. + A car is not an investment, a house is. A car depreciates the moment you drive it off the lot and you will be ripped off when it comes time to sell it. You will be ripped off when buying it as well for that matter. + I do agree that the best car payment is no payment but I treat cars the same way I treat iphones. Better ones come out every year but that doesn't mean I want to get a new one every year. Every 3 years...yes. Which is why I lease. + Most people don't do 36 month ownership terms, especially families since its too expensive for multiple cars. They will pick anywhere from 60 to 72 months, which means you are stuck with that car payment. Where as leases give you the opportunity to reset and adjust after 36 months (24 months and 42 months are available as well.) So for someone that wants to save money, leasing is better cause it gives you lower car payments, $0 maintenance costs and the opportunity to adjust after 3 years. + The downside of leasing is you have to pay for new registration every 3 years for each new vehicle. + Leases are awesome in that it can put you in your dream car. A $40,000+ bmw would be a very expensive car payment. However when you lease you can make a much more manageable monthly payment ($399 a month) and then when it comes time to buy it, if you want you can for a much lower price ($22,000) than if you bought it brand new. In the end there is no right or wrong answer as this video fails to see. Whether it is better to lease or to buy is an "opinion." My opinion is leasing is better. Stay safe!

Purchasing is definitely the way to go.. With leasing you will NEVER stop paying monthly for your car. With each lease renewal and car swap, you will walk out with another 36 month payment plan. Then it's rinse, repeat. The dealers love that deal because you keep coming back to rent more cars. By the time you renew your lease to start another one, I have already finished paying my purchase and will end up with no more monthly payments. I will also have collateral/equity for a nice down payment should I wish to purchase another vehicle at a later time. No more money out of my pocket. the equity trade in alone drastically lowers your monthly should you want to trade for a newer model. And I won't have mileage limitations. With a purchase you can always sell the car if you find yourself in a financial pinch. Instant money in your pocket once the car is paid in full. And there are no prepayment penalties. Double up your monthly payments when things are good so you can get out sooner. Don't forget with leases you have the return fees, wear and tear item costs, mileage overages, etc. and God forbid you get into an accident with a leased vehicle. You will pay dearly when you return it. They will hit you with enough fees when you're up but the scam is they will waive those fees if you lease another vehicle from them. A Sucker's deal! But honestly, there really is no need to change your car every 3 years. Sound advise....Buy a good reliable car and keep it for awhile.. Stop throwing money out the window. Use it for smart investments. Or stay broke.

I don’t need a new car every three years and I think the whole enterprise of lease and dump is incredibly wasteful. Paying that much for a A to B transportation seems wrong to me. I know people complain about maintenance, but if you buy a good reliable car like mine, your golden. I let the other suckers deal with depreciation and now I can probably sell it for just as much as I paid for it given how crazy car prices are. That’s instant cash in my account if I need the money. Not a bad deal. My parents have always been stressing buying instead of leasing. If only more people would listen to them we wouldn’t have 1.5 trillion dollars in auto loan debt

If you bought a car and kept it for 10 years including maintenance it was more expensive than leasing 3 cars over that period. However, after 10 years the bought car was much more inexpensive to own. People also assume you’re car will be bought at resale value but that isn’t always the case. How Marko said sometimes people don’t take care of the vehicle appropriately and you’re competing against dealerships that’s have more inventory and more margin space than you do.

I think one important aspect of leasing (at least in Germany/Austria) is that the value after the lease is guaranteed. So you don't have to worry if the car will hold its value or not. Say value after the lease was guaranteed 20k but the car ends up being worth only 16k. The leasing company pays that 4k loss. And if the car is worth more you get the difference in the pocket.

Maybe think about the fact that your leasing or buying guide doesn't take into account that today's cars are so advanced that it's more cost effective to get a new car every 3 years. I say this because the cost of upkeep will be crazy if you plan to hold onto these advanced cars, especially electric cars. When they develop faults, the cost of repairs will be crazy and you won't have the option of doing it yourself like older model cars. You'll be stuck into going to the dealership for repairs. Getting rid of these advanced cars after 3 years by leasing makes more sense to me. The technology for vehicles changes too quickly. Buying outright used to be the better option, until the vehicles became too advanced to repair yourself.

Clarity with Teekay Not possible. To save $250,000 in five years you would need to put away $50,000 per year. If you’re earning $100,000 per year, after you factor in taxes, retirement savings, and healthcare you would be LUCKY to see $60,000 in net income each year that actually hits your bank account. Now lets figure some real basic necessities, like a mortgage payment, property taxes, food, and utilities. For a modest house including the tax and insurance payments you might be looking at $1,500 per month, utilities are going to cost maybe $300 per month if you skip things like cable, and food you might be able to get by on $400 per month. So we’re talking at the very least $2,200 in expense each month (and this is assuming you’re single and have no kids, you better expect all of those bills to go up with more mouths to feed and electricity to waste). So now we’re already down to somewhere around $34,000 remaining for the year... which seems like a lot but let’s not forget there’s a ton of other expenses like car insurance, gas, home repairs, childcare, vacations, clothing, etc.

I have a MacBook Pro for work, an iPhone, AirPods, PS4 like everyone else, and a nice bike that cost roughly 2K. I don’t drive a Ferrari cause I don’t want to, nor do I need to, but I’ve owned a nice little Jeep that I bought after a couple of years of saving (second hand of course). I was 20, started with 2000$ to my name at 18 :). My expenses, rent included, food, gas, clothes, insurance, travel, electronics never exceeded 2k, and that’s the upper bar. Right now I’m at around 1.5k/month. I don’t own a house and probably never will (i don’t believe in owning a home that u live in) although I technically could buy one in cash in two years tops (given I don’t lose my job tmrw lol). I don’t want kids cause I’m not crazy so that’s one less massive expense. If I made 60k today after taxes, I’d be saving 40k a year, probably for the rest of my life..and even if I don’t invest that 40k (which would be utterly dumb), I’d still end up with more than a million dollars in savings in 25 years .. imaging the returns and dividends on 1.2 million dollars in 25 years !

Excellent video explaining the nuances. The only issue is the numbers are way off which severely impacts the analysis. In most leases, at least the ones I have had, the buyout is about 10-15% lower than the market price for the same car at 3 years old. Additionally, most, if not all cars, depreciate 45-55% over the first 3 years, so the 17,700 vehicle in question will bring back about $10,000 at sale, not 12K, and the buyout would be about $9,500. Outside of that, a very good explanation of pros and cons.

Thank you, Marko! That was amazingly insightful. I am on the fence about this. One thing I notice is that over the course of 3 years, the car depreciates in value, depending upon what you have. There is no guarantee that you will get $12K for the three-year-old compact, in fact, you may take a sizable hit on it. You also could look at spending $19K over 3 years (buy) vs. $7K over the same duration (lease). You have more options, being able to walk away and try something new, or having saved $12K over the three years could put you in a position to buy a car outright. I know this isn't a forum, but I would love anyone's thoughts on this, particularly yours Marko! Thanks!

I realise this is an American example so it may be very different to the British market but I don't think the maths tends to work out like this example. The reason for that is the deposit required on a new car is much higher than the down payment on a lease which is typically 3, 6 or 9 months times the monthly fee and that fee itself is also lower than your monthly payment for a straight loan. For me, switching to leasing meant paying less per month and still being able to get a car I couldn't have afforded to buy new plus at the end of the term, when the warranty is up I can just hand it back and get another nice shiny new vehicle. The longer you own a car, the more things go wrong and I don't want to have to deal with selling at the end of it. The biggest consideration should be mileage. I have a short commute so do less than 10k per year which is perfect for leasing and I can opt for a cheap pre-reg deal because it makes no difference to me how many previous owners it has unlike buyers who may be haggled down more aggressively because they would become the third owner. It's horses for courses and depends whether you see a car as an asset or a liability as it gets older. The worst possible option is pcp and paying the balloon payment to keep the car. If you're leasing, don't keep it. If you're buying, don't buy new unless your planning to keep it until it's time for scrap

I bought my first ever new car last year but it was only because my credit is pretty much 800(almost no interest and I have a really good salary with very little debt) and the dealership I went to offered a huge discount because of my workplace. We work directly with the dealerships service department. If you go used make sure to get the car fax, service history, and stay far away from old rental cars!!!!

@marko Thanks for the excellent videos. Over the years, I have tried my best to explain this scenario to my brother, colleagues, and friends who consider to lease option and think it is cheaper in the long run. But a second opinion from you 'seals the deal' and strengthen what I have been 'preaching' all this time. We also have to consider the lease per month value. Different dealers will offer different monthly lease fee and it is important to shop around and consider the best lease option and compare with a buy out option before they make a decision based on their preference of keeping the car for a shorter term and never actually buying it. But you did mention that the video is an oversimplified version and I completely agree with you. There are a lot of factors.

You didn't account for two things that swings the Lease as favorable, even in your "keep" the car scenario: 1.) Deferment of Sales Tax. For a Buy, you have pay/finance all the sales tax into the loan. For a lease, you pay it monthly. Meaning, in a Buy, you are paying interest on 100% of the sales tax, where a lease, you are paying the sales tax monthly, and then bulk at the end. (If you live in a state with no sales tax (there's a handful), then you lose that advantage of course.) 2.) Subvented Rates. In the scenario where 0% financing is offered, you are correct that for a Buy, the low APR is in lieu of rebates, so you're essentially losing the rebate to take advantage of the 0%. In Leases, however, that is not the case, the Rebates on a lease are in conjunction with any low money factor (lease equivalent of an APR). You also put the "Buy" at 36 Months, when anything under 60 months is incredibly rare. A fairer comparison would be to make the buy for 60 Months, and then make the Lease for 36 Months, plus finance the Residual for the last 24 Months (and bump the residual finance rate up a bit since you're financing a used car at that point). I realize that would make for a more complex video, so I can appreciate sticking to the simpler scenario. Good work, and good commentary on the "human nature" aspect.

Exactly. If it's a daily driver, look for good build quality, high reliability and a manufacturer/dealer who are known for supporting their customers. Then buy it because you're going to use this car a lot and have it for a long time. If it's exotic or a model that's known for long term reliability issues, lease it if you're going to mess with it at all. Depending on how the tax arrangements work out, leasing a work vehicle can also be a good idea, but you should talk to an accountant who really knows the tax system in your area as to whether that option is right for you.

Buy a used car (Honda or Toyota - a dependable car with a long life expectancy) with less than 35,000 miles and less than three years old. Pay it off (immediately, if you have the money to pay for it outright) and drive it until it has *at least* 250,000 miles on it. Repeat that throughout your life and you'll be far better off financially than everyone else you know.

One other consideration: if you finance a car and it gets wrecked, your insurance may not cover the full value, especially if you quickly rack up the miles. Also, if you’re not keen on haggling with mechanics and worrying about maintenance, leasing is a bit less stressful and can be less costly. But you’re right, depends on your situation and lifestyle.

Leasing affords you the best three years of the vehicle; the first three. Try to never put $ down on a lease. Only put $ down on a finance. You CAN negotiate miles/yr and monthly payments. If the the residual at the end of term is blue book, then you’re fine to decide then to buy or not. Honda’s will have high residuals. On the lease, budget $200/month, drive right and you’ll never do a brake job, exhaust job, etc. and the vehicle will remain under warranty!! And, you’ll have the safest, most up to date vehicle. Low payment and invest the difference. Financing(leasing also) only makes sense if you can make money with the vehicle and write off all expenses from it.

@@4pitts1burgh28 Just divide the downpayment by the number of months in the lease. For instance, if the deal quotes $3K down, and the lease is for 39 months, add roughly $75 a month to the price. The reason you don't put $ down is because if you get in an accident, and the car is totaled, you don't lose that downpayment because in many leases, gap insurance is already built into the contract.

Trying to keep my current daily running good until it's viable to get/live with an Electric car that has a lot less maintenance.

Thanks for a clear, rational presentation - black markers are the best btw. Of course, 80% of new cars are not owned by their drivers (yes, 80%), as they are leased, company cars or subject to some ongoing financial deal. New cars are very desirable things and this tends to make us think with our emotions more than our calculators when buying.

@MrHammer2088 4 жыл бұрын

Wow 80% ! .... that's a high number.. I live in NYC and just about every intersection has a used car lot 🤔.. Is it fair to say leasing is a matter of choice- and place in your financial life... Marko layed out his reasons to rather buy than lease- and that's his.. lease payments are always lower than finance - and marko fail to mentioned the difference in monthly finance and lease payments and how much being saved and compounding each month when lease.. of all the household across the country- most are leasing (renting)- and that's ok? Well of course where you live is a necessity- so it's debatable to compare (but it's still a choice based on finances) The top 1% always say- lease depreciating assets and buy appropriating asset.. And a vehicle is not an asset..
