Leasing is essentially renting a car for a fixed period, usually 36 to 48 months. You pay for the vehicle's depreciation during that time rather than the full purchase price. ✅ The Pros

Since leases are short, the car is usually covered by the manufacturer's warranty the entire time.

Monthly costs are typically 30%–60% lower than loan payments for the same car.

You may be charged for small dents, upholstery stains, or tire wear when you return the car.

New cars lose value quickly. You may "owe more than it’s worth" in the first few years.

If used for business, lease payments can often be deducted more easily than vehicle depreciation. ❌ The Cons
