"Lease or finance: Which is better, once and for all

Leasing and financing both have their benefits, but financing is often the better choice in the long run. With financing, you eventually own the item once the payments are complete, giving you full control and the option to keep, sell, or trade it. Leasing, however, means you’ll never own the asset and may end up paying more over time without building any equity. If you plan to keep the item for a longer period, financing offers better value and flexibility.
