You are in the process of getting a new car but are not sure if you should buy or lease. The total cost of the car is $21,000, and you have a $275 monthly spend budget for payments. If you lease the car, the terms of the lease will be forty-eight months at an APR of 2.25%. The residual value of the car is $8,000. If you buy the car, a bank will offer an APR of 2.70% and seven years to repay the loan.
