SHOULD I LEASE OR SHOULD I BUY? THAT IS THE QUESTION…
Should I Buy or Lease?
You’ve found the car, truck, or SUV you love — now it’s time to explore your financing options. Should you buy or lease? That’s a big question, and at Romeo Auto Group, we’re here to help you make the decision that fits your lifestyle, budget, and driving habits.
We’ve put together some key points below to help you get started:
The Big Difference: Ownership
- Buying means the vehicle is yours to own, drive, customize, and keep for as long as you want.
- Leasing is more like renting. You’ll return the vehicle at the end of your lease term, and it’s expected to be in good condition with mileage limitations, and you’ll only be paying for the market value of the time you are driving the vehicle. An example, using round numbers…If the vehicle is $30,000 and you are leasing for 2 years, your payments are based on $15,000 ++. The remainder, in simple terms, is about the value you can buy the vehicle for after the 2 years. Pretty simple and a great way to stay in a new vehicle with a full warranty.
Consider Buying If You:
- Drive a lot or have a long commute — no mileage restrictions
- Plan to make a large down payment or finance for ownership
- Want to personalize or upgrade your vehicle with aftermarket parts
- Expect to keep your vehicle for many years
- Prefer the long-term value of owning your vehicle outright
- Can estimate your yearly mileage and stay within limits
- Keep your vehicle clean and well-maintained
- Like upgrading to the latest model every few years
- Want a vehicle that’s covered by warranty throughout the lease
- Appreciate the ease of returning your vehicle at lease-end
- Want to have lower payments than a purchase financed.
