Person reviewing car lease contract

Benefits of Buying

  • No Mileage Restrictions: When Valrico drivers ask themselves, “Should I buy or lease,” one thing they need to consider is that a lease features mileage limits. That means that when you buy, you won’t be at risk of going over the limit and incurring fees.
  • Total Ownership: Once you’ve paid off your car, it’s yours to sell.
  • Customization: If you like to do DIY repairs, accessorize, or do custom jobs, you’ll have to finance your car.
  • Less Cost Over Time: While leasing costs less in the immediate, when you sell a car that you’ve paid off, in most cases the return from the sale makes financing more cost effective overall.

Benefits of Leasing

  • Lower Payments: When you lease, your payments only go to cover the depreciation of the vehicle’s residual value over the course of your lease term. This means your down payment and your monthly payments will frequently be much less.
  • Less Sales Tax: When you choose to lease, the majority of states only require that you pay sales tax on your down payment.
  • Great Coverage: Leased vehicles remain under their manufacturer warranty, meaning that Brandon drivers don’t have to pay for vehicle service.
  • Options: When you lease, your term is up every 3 years, meaning you’ll have the option to try out a new car frequently. If you’re asking yousef, “Should I buy or lease?”, and you’re unsure of whether you want to commit to a long-term loan, leasing may be the perfect solution.
