This decision is mainly affected by the budget of the future car owner, and sometimes it is hard to predict the future. And of course there are big differences between a lease option and a financing option. In a nutshell, leasing is like paying for a car for a certain period of time while you’re using it, however it is different from simply renting since when leasing you have to pay a financial rate, which is usually equivalent to an interest on the load. You also have an option to purchase the car at the end of your lease at a smaller price than the original (you can read more about vehicle leasing at Wikipedia website. And when you buy a car, you can use it however long and you don’t need to pay anything to fully own the vehicle after the end of the financing period.

So when you lease a car, you’re only paying for its deprecation value, which is the difference between the original value, plus the estimated resale value at the end of your lease. In fact, this difference is the reason why leasing offers lower monthly average car payments than buying. But if you can dedicate a substantial amount in your budet for an average car payment per month, then you will be better off with buying the said car, since you can then fully own it and choose to either keep it or sell in the future.

If you’re really looking to save on monthly car payments, there is another option which is taking over someones lease. Usually this is the case for when original car owner who took out the lease in the first place cannot provide monthly payments anymore (either he lost a job or decided to get a better car etc.). In that scenario there is usually no deposits whatsoever, and you may get a much better rate from the previous agreement than the current offered rates, and the previous owner may throw in some cash for you as well.
