Buy or Lease - Buying involves simply purchasing a particular item, generally by financing it if the item is expensive (Pine Grove, 2005). Leasing involves a contract process similar to renting, where the person that leases the item will decide at the end of the lease term whether to purchase the item that was leased (Pine Grove, 2005).
Advantages to Both Options - The advantages to buying include total ownership of the item, no contract (other than financing), and no regulations on how or where the equipmen
t purchased can be used. Advantages to leasing include just 'borrowing' the equipment for a while when it is needed, and often a lower price for leasing than buying would cost over the same time period.
Personal Consideration - Most articles that deal with leasing versus buying, especially for vehicles, indicate that there are many variables, and looking at all of them thoroughly is the only way to make a complete, accurate, and personal decision as to whether to lease something or to buy it.
