Leasing vs. Buying: Leasing Benefits

Should you buy or lease a car? Leasing a vehicle involves signing an agreement to lease your car over a specific time. Leasing can come with several benefits that make it an attractive alternative and more flexible to traditional financing. With leasing you only pay off the depreciation of the vehicle during your loan term and is less expensive upfront. Some other benefits include: 

  • Your monthly payments will be lower than a new vehicle purchase
  • Should you find yourself needing extra parts or repairs around Hahira the lease usually comes with full warranty coverage. 
  • At the end of your lease deal, you’ll have more options, including purchasing the vehicle outright or even upgrading to a newer model.
  • Lower sales tax 

Leasing vs. Buying: Financing Benefits

When determining whether you should buy or lease a car, financing can also be advantageous to your car-buying situation. It’s certainly the more familiar option for Nashville drivers. When you apply for financing, you take out a loan that is expected to pay off the full value of the vehicle. Because of this, you’ll face a larger down payment, monthly payments, and overall more sales tax. However, in the long run, financing is more cost-effective and you have the option to sell your vehicle at any point, which you can’t do with leasing.
