Is it better to lease or buy a car?

It depends on how you drive and what you value. Leasing usually means lower monthly payments, a new car every few years and warranty coverage, but you build no equity and face mileage and wear limits. Buying costs more monthly but you own the car and can drive it as much as you like for years after paying it off. On OffLot, Build your deal lets you compare buy, lease and cash for the same vehicle.
