Lease for short term use with miles under 15k a year.Leasing is best for executive vehicles and company cars driven 15k or less miles per year. Import brands have the best residual values, which makes the payment lower. Leasing is also a benefit for those with limited cash available for purchases or down payments looking to meet a payment budget.
BUY or AUTO LOANS for work trucks, vans and specialty vehicles. Need a flatbed, diesel pick-up or basic truck for your crew, grab a deal this last few weeks. Put as much down payment as you can and take the rebates. Light on cash, buy it on a low interest loan for as long as possible.
