<prompt> Human: Title sums it up. We have someone in our family that says if you lease a car and then buy it at the end of your lease, you end up saving money because the lease interest rates are lower than a loan interest rate on buying a car. In my case, we want a highlander. My husband thinks we should buy a certified pre owned one, not too many miles only 1-2 years old. He insists this is cheaper. But I want to make sure that is true; as fam member insists the lease then buy it results in less money spent overall. We live in WA, where every lease has to state in it what the ending purchase price will be of the car should you decide to buy it at the end of your lease.  <response>: Never and I repeat never take financial advice from someone advocating leasing a car to save money.
