If the down payment to buy a car is too pricey, leasing one can be a good option.

Many companies also offer flexible pricing plans so you won’t have to fork out loads of money at one go. Besides a lower upfront cost, you won’t need to worry about your car’s value depreciating over time.

What’s great is that at the end of your lease, you can change the car to another model of your choice – great for those who love variety!
