Notes
- Buying wins if you keep the car well past the loan; leasing can win for short ownership windows and lower monthly outlay.
- This compares cash cost only — it ignores maintenance differences, mileage penalties and the opportunity cost of the down payment.
- This is an educational estimate, not financial advice; talk to a qualified adviser before making money decisions.
