When it comes time to drive off a new car, you have three basic options:  You can pay cash You can get an auto loan  You can drive off with a lease  But with the average price of a new car at almost $41,000, most drivers today are driving off the lot with either an auto loan or a lease.  ❓ But which is better - an car lease or an auto loan? What are the costs that go with each? And how do you know if you're making the best financial decision when it comes to driving your next car? Is there something we are missing when comparing the two? Today on the show, I will compare the auto loan and car lease, so you can decide which is the best way to drive off the lot in a new car.
