With an athletic stance, nimble handling and the luxury of a Buick, the 2017 Envision is a SUV that covers it all. So, is leasing or buying the 2017 Buick Envision the better option?

Buying is the better option if you tend to look at things in the long term. You save more money in the long term by purchasing your vehicle.

Leasing, however, is less costly in the short term because it offers customers the opportunity to take home a vehicle for less down with lower monthly payments. Leasers also worry less about maintenance and breakdowns, and don't have to worry about selling or negotiating when they are through with a vehicle.

A final note, with leasing, there are mileage restrictions and there could also be wear and tear charges if a leaser is too hard on the vehicle.

Which is better? Well, that depends on the individual, their situation and what their goals are.

If you see a vehicle purchase as part of your larger long term financial strategy, then buying is the better option.

If you want a little more car than you are able or willing to afford, and more convenience in terms of maintenance and transitioning into another vehicle, then leasing might be the way to go.
