An example of the lease verse buy dilemma can be applied to a vehicle of any value. If you are planning to purchase a vehicle that is worth $10,000 or a vehicle that is worth $60,000, there are two main ways to pay for this vehicle.
Whether you plan to lease or buy, you will most likely be making a monthly payment. If you choose to lease the vehicle, you will be paying a lower monthly fee but you do not own the vehicle.
