To Lea(租赁) or Not to Lea阿酷字体
Planning tolea a car becau you don't think you can afford to buy? Think again. Leasingcan end up being just as expensive as buying.
Most peoplethink about leasing becau they believe it will cost them less money. They'reright-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were tolea anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If youwere to buy the same car, you would pay about $400per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But afteryour lea is over, you have to give the car back.
Many peoplewant to lea becau they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwibe able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you mightbe able to lea a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buya ud Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lea，therefore， allows you to drive the latest models of moreexpensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it,and it will always have a rell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later.
Furthermore,people who lea cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when thelea is over . Most leas limit you to a certain number of miles. If you goover that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up payingthousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lea ,you have topay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must returnthe car finally, you are paying to repair someone el's car.
By now, thebenefits of buying over leasing should be clear. Remember: whatever model youcan afford to buy, it is yours after you make the payments. There's no givingback, and that makes all the difference.
