It is important to know which financing option, buying or leasing, suits your situation best:
Purchasing:
When you buy a car, you pay for the whole vehicle. You will usually make a down payment, pay the sales taxes in cash (or roll these taxes into your auto loan) and pay an interest rate. You usually will make your first payment a month after you sign your contract. This option is great if you like to keep your cars for a long period of time and have a need to put unlimited miles on the vehicle.
Leasing:
With a lease you have options you don't have when you purchase a car. When you lease, you are paying only for the part of the car you use. With a lease, you pay for the use of a set number of miles on your leased vehicle (15,000, for example), and the natural depreciation of the value of the car as it ages in your possession. You do not have to put any money down, you typically only pay sales tax on your monthly payments, and are charged with a 'money factor' that is similar to the interest rate on a loan. You make your first payment at the time you sign your contract. When the term of your lease is over, you have the option of buying the car for the 'residual amount' (which is determined at the time you sign your paperwork to lease the car).
You also have the option of just giving the car back and getting a different car, taking no negative equity with you! You will of course be liable for any miles you use over the contracted amount, and any damage to the vehicle beyond normal use. Finally, you also have the option of selling the car and paying off the residual amount, or simply trading in the car to do the same, since in some instances the leased car ends up being worth considerably more than the 'residual amount.'

Loan payments contribute to the eventual ownership of a vehicle, while lease payments apply only to the short-term use of a car.
Owning a lease vehicle is possible if purchased outright after the lease period ends.
A typical lease period runs between 24 and 48 months.
Three important factors - adjusted capitalized cost, residual value and the money factor - determine the monthly rate of a lease.
Closed-end leases set a fixed residual buy price at the beginning of the term, while open-end deals base the final buy price on a vehicle's actual market value at the end of a lease.
Pay more money down initially to reduce monthly loan payments. Otherwise, a typical down payment ranges between 10 to 20 percent of the total cost.
Many used vehicles require down payments of at least 20 percent and include interest rates between 9 to 10 percent.
Lease agreements usually limit mileage from 12,000 to 15,000 miles annually. Beyond these figures, fees in the range of $0.10 to $0.25 per mile begin to accumulate.
If you plan on customizing your vehicle, you need to finance with a loan. Leased vehicles must be returned under factory specification.
