Our Two Cents Compares Car Buying And Leasing
By Jake Stevens / 11/21/2024 / Company News
William Shakespeare said it best. “To buy or not to buy, that is the question.”
Well, “Hamlet” went something like that. Have no fear, we’re hosting a financial conversation podcast, not an English literature lecture.
In the latest episode of Our Two Cents, a financial wellness-focused podcast from KEYS by GM Financial, we get to the bottom of the other age-old question: Should you lease or buy your vehicle?
Hear from Brian Stratton, GM Financial SVP for U.S. Regional Sales and Credit Operations, as he offers important perspectives on the lease versus buy debate, including pros and cons for each and what to expect once you’ve made your decision.
Brian’s more-than-25 years of auto finance sales and credit experience make him an ideal guest for the podcast and a natural fit for the thoughtful discussion that dives into the financial, emotional and psychological factors that drive the decision to lease or buy.
The episode, available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, like all Our Two Cents content, supports KEYS by GM Financial’s aim to help people make more informed financial decisions.
Our Two Cents launched in April 2023. New episodes go live every other Wednesday with topics focused on demystifying money concepts. Past episodes have covered budgeting, the cost of life events like weddings and home buying, shopping for insurance, saving for college and more. Subscribe now to never miss an episode.
