Leasing vs Buying

To Buy or to Lease?

Auto Loan

If you like working towards ownership, an auto loan is the way to go. As you make monthly payments on a model of your choosing, you will eventually own the vehicle outright, free to do with it what you wish. So, feel free to upgrade your sound system, invest in seasonal tires, or even pursue another type of accessory!

There are no mileage limits when you opt for a traditional car loan, either. This could prove quite appealing whether you plan on taking cross-country trips or you just drive a lot on a daily basis.

Really, a traditional finance plan is the more flexible route for those who want a little more liberty with their vehicle, regarding where and how they drive it.

Car Lease

Do you like the idea of financial flexibility? Car leases typically have a lower monthly payment and require a lower down payment than car loans. With less money going to interest, you can explore upgrading trim levels or investing in features that are traditionally more expensive.

With a car lease, there's no long-term commitment required, either. You can try out one make and model for a few years and trade it in for a newer make and model down the line. However, your payments aren't working towards ownership, so you can't customize your vehicle. Also, keep in mind that auto leases have a mileage limits, so if you have a long commute, a lease might be less appealing than an auto loan.
