However, how are you supposed to know whether you should finance or lease your vehicle? Which is the better option?

Financing vs. Leasing

The most important thing to remember is that there is no objective answer for this question. It all comes down to personal preference, your budget, and your driving habits.

Financing is the usual route drivers take, as many people want to own their vehicle. Financing involves taking out an auto loan to cover the initial cost of the vehicle. You then pay down that loan over the years. Once the loan is entirely paid off, you will officially own the vehicle.

Financing could be a good option for you if:

• drive a lot during the week
• want to own your vehicle
• want complete control over the look, feel, and performance of your vehicle

Leasing is a popular alternative to financing. Because you do not own the vehicle, you will not have to take out an auto loan. Additionally, your monthly payments may be lower than they would be if you financed your vehicle (due to the inherent differences between paying a lease and paying a loan). However, leasing is not a good option for people who drive a lot throughout the week, or those who want complete control over their vehicle. Leasing has certain parameters you must follow.

Leasing could be a good option for you if:

• do not drive a lot, or drive short distances during your day
• do not want to own your vehicle
• need a vehicle for professional purposes

No matter what, our financing team would be happy to help you with the details of either payment option.

If you love the vehicle you are currently driving, feel free to purchase the leased vehicle. Or, if you want to re-lease the vehicle, that is also a prospective decision. And, of course, you can turn in the car you are leasing now, and lease another vehicle.
