One thing people often want to know is what the difference is between buying and leasing. It's about ownership. If you decide to buy your vehicle, you're intending to pay off the full agreed upon price over a period of time until it's paid off. Once it is, you no longer have a car payment and the vehicle is yours. This also gives you the freedom to not have any mileage restrictions and customization. Leasing means you're taking a new vehicle and agreeing to pay on a certain percentage of the vehicle over an agreed time. Leasing also generally provides lower payments. In short, buying is for drivers who are thinking long term should consider buying. If you like flexibility and options and don't put too many miles on your vehicle, leasing might be right for you.

With new vehicles, you can expect all the latest style, technology, safety and features onboard. There's also new vehicle warranty coverage and service options, too. With used cars, you're getting lots of diversity. It might be mileage or model year; it depends on what you choose.
