Buy vs Lease

Buy

Buying is a big decision. It’s the best choice to make if…

• You want to own your car. If you lease, you don’t hold ownership over your car.
• You want to modify your car. Leasing means that if you do modify your car in any way, you’d need to change it back before you returned it,
• You drive a lot. Leases have mileage limits on them, so you would be constrained typically to 10,000 miles a year or you’d be charged every time you go over.
• You don’t want a “contract”. If you own your car, you can sell it whenever you want.

Lease

Leasing might be the rest choice for you if…

• You want lower monthly payments. Lease payments tend to always be lower than loan payments.
• You don’t have a large down payment. There are lots of lease deals that require no money down initially.
• You love new cars. With a lease, you’ll be able to get new car every time your lease is over, for less than you’d pay to buy a new car.
• You want to avoid repair costs. A leased car will likely be under factory warranty for the entire lease period, so you won’t have to pay much out of pocket.
