Lease or Buy Car Guides

These pages split the broad lease-or-buy question into the narrow finance situations people actually search for: PCP comparisons, mileage mismatch, EV timing, and cash versus finance.

Lease or Buy Car

Use the guides for the search question. Use the tool for the final call.

These pages are built for the narrow searches people make before they are ready to fill in a calculator. Once you know which situation fits, use the main tool for a more tailored verdict.

Search intent first

Each guide handles one narrow decision pattern so the answer feels clearer than a generic calculator.

Compare the real friction

The strongest calls usually come from timeline, ownership pressure, depreciation, hassle, or uncertainty rather than one number alone.

Close calls still need quotes

If the verdict is close, verify the live rates, trade-in offers, dealer terms, or real-world costs next.

Use the tool to personalise it

The main tool goes beyond the guide and lets you run your own numbers or circumstances.
