Do you trust the company you would be leasing from?
When you buy, you don't have to trust the bank. You just need its money. But leasing means you are entering a complex financial relationship with a company. It's best to lease from an auto maker or a large leasing company with a substantial interest in repeat business. And check to see if your lease includes gap coverage, which protects you if your car is stolen or totaled. Most major leasing companies provide it. Also make sure you have a purchase option at a fixed price. Walk away from leases that don't offer both.
