Suze Orman Says You Should ‘Never’ Lease a Car

While appearing on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace,” Orman was asked how to decide whether you should lease or buy a car — and Orman had no hesitation when she answered.

“You should never lease a car,” she said. “Leasing a car is the biggest waste of money out there.”

Wallace admitted that even he leases a car, but Orman pushed back and said it’s not a good use of his money

“If you keep it the entire time, [for] the life of it, if you take good care of it, [you will save money],” she said. “My car is going to be good for another five years. I just think it’s better to buy.”
