No equity at the end; you are in a continuous payment cycle. Mileage restrictions and fees for wear-and-tear.

In 2026, the choice between leasing and buying a used car depends on whether you prioritize lower monthly payments and the latest tech (leasing) or long-term financial savings (buying used).

Lower monthly payments compared to buying new. Often requires less money upfront. You always drive a vehicle with the latest features/tech under factory warranty.
