Leasing vs. Buying

One of the most popular questions we get pertains to the differences between leasing and buying. Mainly, drivers want to know which option may be better for them. The truth is, it depends. There is no clear cut answer. Both investment options have their pros and their cons.

Buying

This is the option most drivers are aware of and opt for. It involves taking out an automotive loan to cover the cost of the vehicle you like. Your monthly price is then calculated from the amount of this loan, your APR, your down payment, and the length, or term of the loan. Because of how this figure is calculated, and because it hinges on how big the loan is, your monthly payments when you buy are often on the higher side. However, when you buy a vehicle, you own it. As such, you can drive it as far and as often as you want.

Leasing

Leasing is good for drivers who need a short-term driving option. It does not require taking out an automotive loan. As such, leasing is often more cost-effective on a monthly basis. Furthermore, leasing can be a great option for folks who need a professional vehicle for work. Because the monthly rates are more affordable, you can often invest in a vehicle you may not be able to buy. Leasing does come with a few drawbacks, though. It has mileage parameters -- if you exceed the miles you are allotted, you have to pay a few. Additionally, you have to keep the car in good condition.
