Lower monthly payments.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There is no doubt if you are not in a position to pay cash for your next car, a lease will cost you less per month.\u00a0\u00a0Depending on the vehicle and the incentives, at times the lease payment will be substantially lower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. Keep your cash.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Just about any lease can be done with little or no money down.\u00a0\u00a0While certificates of deposit and other interest-bearing accounts are not paying huge dividends, for some people it gives them peace of mind to know where their money is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3. More options.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With leasing, if the vehicle you chose turns out not to be right for you, it is easier and quicker to get out of a lease than a long-term finance contract.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ve seen many cases of people suddenly needing something very different, like a mobility van and, again, getting out of a lease will be easier.\u00a0\u00a0If leasing just did not work for you, you can purchase your lease car at any time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>4. Lower out of pocket expenses.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For most people who lease, over the term of a lease, you will only be out the lease payment, gasoline, insurance, and very minor things like a few oil changes and tire rotations.\u00a0\u00a0Most won\u2019t even&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/2018\/01\/jerry-reynolds\/why-buy\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On last Saturday\u2019s\u00a0Car Pro Show,\u00a0we had a number of callers who identified themselves as senior citizens who were considering leasing for the first time.
