Leasing vs Financing: Which is the Better Option for You?

Two of the most popular ways to get behind the wheel of your dream ride are leasing and financing. Both methods have the same goal in mind – to have you drive away happy. However, they are different in their approaches. We’ll highlight them below.

Leasing

Leasing guarantees you’ll be jumping into a brand-new car with the latest style, technology, etc. Lease agreements usually last two to three years and, in many cases, can be cheaper than financing because you won’t own the car once you complete the payment cycle. However, leasing gives you the flexibility to finance or buy a car at any time.

Leases often come with maintenance-based warranties that cover factory maintenance services for most of the agreement, meaning you might not have to pay out of pocket for a plethora of services. If significant repairs are needed, you will likely be responsible for those.

For those who want to drive the latest models every few years, leasing is a great idea. Doing so also opens you up to more options, whereas financing can limit you. Additionally, if you want lower monthly payments, leasing is the way to go.

Financing

Financing is a long-term agreement between you and an auto loan company in which you’ll repay the loan over time. Once the payment cycle is complete, you’ll own the car outright, meaning you can customize it any way you want or turn around and sell it.

By financing a car, you’re building equity in it. If you keep it in good condition, its resale value should remain high. This method can also improve your credit score, as taking out an auto loan means you’re opening a line of credit.

One benefit to financing that might get overlooked is that you’re not beholden to a mileage limit like you are with a lease, meaning you can drive as often as you want the second you complete the finance process.

So, if you’re someone who knows what kind of car they want to drive for the long haul and want to own it eventually, financing is a great choice.
