I am looking at a cpo vehicle that has the first ownership as "Personal lease" for 6000 miles and the 2nd ownership as "Lease" for another 30K miles. Carfax report says the Type of Owner was "Personal lease".I'm wondering if there's any reason that should be a red or yellow flag. E.g. Generally speaking, leasing a car isn't something that should be done unless you already own a car outright. Leasing a car means agreeing to make a monthly payment and drive the car for a defined number of months and miles. You can either put the lease in your company's name, or alternatively you can sign the lease in your personal name. Leasing generally keeps monthly payments lower, but you don't build equity. Is leasing or buying a car better for you? While leasing can offer lower monthly payments, it's important to consider the total cost of leasing versus buying. Buying a vehicle that's been returned on a lease is a good way to get a relatively new and lightly used car.
