IS LEASING RIGHT FOR YOU?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer when deciding between buying and leasing a new vehicle. It's all about selecting the best option for your needs and preferences. While both buying and leasing offer their own advantages, leasing presents an outstanding opportunity to enjoy a fresh, reliable vehicle while saving money. If you don't clock a high annual mileage, maintain a stable lifestyle, value keeping your vehicle in top condition, and boast a strong credit score, leasing could be the perfect fit for you.

LOWER MONTHLY PAYMENTS

Opting for a lease can be a fantastic way to keep your monthly expenses in check. Who doesn't love saving money? Leasing offers significant savings compared to purchasing a vehicle outright, providing a welcome boost to your budget. With leasing, you can enjoy the same car and terms but at a significantly reduced monthly payment, typically ranging from 30% to 60% less than what you'd pay if you were to buy the vehicle outright.

MORE CAR FOR YOUR MONEY

Leasing offers flexibility that buying doesn't match. Rather than committing to a long-term ownership spanning five or more years, leases typically last between 2 to 4 years. This shorter term means you can trade in your vehicle for a new model more frequently, allowing you to stay up-to-date with the latest features and technology. Whether your lifestyle evolves and you need a different vehicle type or simply want to experience something new, leasing enables you to make changes quickly. Need to switch from an SUV to a truck or downsize to a compact car? Leasing makes it possible. And if you've grown attached to your leased vehicle and wish to keep it beyond the lease term, you can often purchase it outright.

FEWER MAINTENANCE ISSUES

Are you concerned about potential repairs? Leasing offers peace of mind, as your vehicle is typically covered by the manufacturer's warranty, providing protection against major issues. Additionally, inquire with your sales representative about whether routine maintenance, such as oil changes and filter replacements, is part of the lease coverage. This demonstrates yet another avenue for saving money through leasing.

LESS CASH UP FRONT

Leasing typically involves minimal to no upfront fees, unlike purchasing a new vehicle, which often demands a 20% down payment. While you may still incur expenses such as title, registration, taxes, and the first month's payment, these costs pale in comparison.

NO USED-CAR HASSLES

When it's time for a new vehicle, you don't need to worry about what to do with your current one. If you're looking to upgrade, you can trade it in for another lease or choose to purchase a vehicle. Alternatively, if you're satisfied with your current ride, you have the option to buy your leased vehicle outright and continue driving it beyond the lease term.

GAP COVERAGE

Dealing with the aftermath of a collision or theft can be overwhelming enough. Gap Coverage is included with a lease, providing added peace of mind during such challenging situations.
