If you lease or buy you pay the same price it's just a matter of,
a lease is prepaid
a bought is postpaid (after initial deposit) + sitting @ the body shop every so often after 2-3 years
it also really depends where you live here in NYC the roads aren't accommodated for vehicles no driveways, a lot of traffic, people are hyped up by every red light stop and go.......... the list is long it's called city mileage the car gets ruined very fast (who's talking about the amount of tickets you're prone to),
versus if you live in country style, or oot cars can last longer
