Buying vs. Leasing a new car - which is the best approach?

Asked by warrickt (31points) November 30th, 2009

We need to get a ‘new’ car and are trying to toss up buying vs. leasing…here are some of the factors in the decision:
1. We dont have a ton of spare cash as just bought a house
2. We only need the car for commuting to/from work so dont need anything fancy or big – also will not do a ton of miles
3. We need to make sure it is maintenence free

My thinking is that cash is king right now and we should lease to conserve our cash – esp. as some of the deals look pretty good.

Thoughts?
