Buying vs. Leasing

We know the car buying process can be stressful. That’s why we thought it would be a great idea to go more in depth with discussing the differences between buying and leasing and help you decide which option would be best for you.

When it comes to buying, it is obviously considered to be your own, where you are allowed to keep the vehicle as long as you would like.

Leasing a vehicle is a little different. You get to use it but then must return it at the end of the scheduled lease date. In other words, you do not own the vehicle yet, but can decide later if you would like to buy it or not.

There’s so much more that comes into play with buying and leasing. So if you would like to learn more, visit the link below!
