 TITLE: What Is a Car Lease and How Does It Work? CONTENT: What Are the Disadvantages of Car Leasing?\n------------------------------------------\nLeasing a car isn't for everyone, nor is it always a great idea:\n*   In the long run, leasing will cost more than buying and holding on to a vehicle.\n*   You're paying for the depreciation at the beginning the car's life, when it depreciates the most.\n*   There are many potential fees and penalties.\n*   If you don't need a car anymore, getting out of a lease can be expensive. And you might not be allowed to take the car with you if you move to a different state.\n*   You can't customize the look or features of your car during the lease unless you pay hefty penalties at the end.\n*   You won't have a car once your lease ends.
