lease it or finance it

I am considering getting a new wrx. But i don't know to lease it or finance it. I maybe be moving back to hong kong 3 or 4 years from now. So which is the better option for me? I think I have to pay a penalty if I break up a lease, but I am not sure

So, if I lease it for 4 years, do I just return the car to them? and I lost all the money i paid during the lease?
Or is it better to finance it and sell the car and paid whatever the amount is owe to the bank

Yeah the better option is to finance and then sell the car if you have to move...and ifyou don't move..then you'll be paying to own it, not paying to borrow it.

Never lease. You pay money after 3 years and then you own nothing. Better to finance for 3 years and then own it and can sell it after.

n00dleboy is right. I believe you often get better interest rates aswell. If you werew planning on dumping the car after two years or less, that is the only time i would advise getting a lease.

SORRY MY CAPS IS STUCK WITH A FINGERNAIL IN IT. BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO FINANCE BORROW THE MONEY FROM THE BANK AND USUALLY YOU SHOULD GET LOWER INTEREST RATES THAN FINANCING FROM The dealer. *caps is not stuck phew*.

they have the future value finance, which i pay the same amount as a lease each month, but 5 years finance instead of 4 years lease. But at the end of 5 years, i have to pay 9000 dollars to buyout the car. I think that option is better than leasing, since i am owing the car, and i don't have to worry about the mileage on it
