Buy vs. Lease

Where To Explore New Car Financing Near Me
If you’re on the hunt for a new vehicle, deciding on whether to buy or lease your next model can heavily influence your ownership experience and monthly payments. When shopping with the Jack Giambalvo Family of Dealerships, you can visit any one of our car dealerships in Pennsylvania to get help from our car finance team, so you can make the most informed decision when purchasing your ideal model.
Why Should I Get a New Car Lease?
Leasing is essentially renting a car, with your ownership lasting for a limited term before it must be returned to the dealership. This provides a great amount of fluidity, so you won’t be locked into the same vehicle for a long period of time, or otherwise save if you only need a car for a limited period of time. Some of the specific advantages include:
- Lower monthly installments, as you only cover the cost of a vehicle’s depreciation as opposed to its entire value.
- The dealership often covers routine maintenance, helping you to save when receiving necessary diagnostics at a service center.
- Lower commitment allows you to upgrade to the latest version of your current vehicle when the term ends or otherwise change to a new vehicle you’re more interested in.
It’s also possible to take the steps to buy a leased model if you find you love it. Keep in mind that leases also often include mileage restrictions, so a lease may not be a great option if you regularly take long commutes.
Why Should I Get New Car Financing?
If you’d prefer to be the outright owner of your next car, financing may be what you’d prefer. Financing may be your preference if you intend to keep your vehicle for many years, avoiding any mileage restrictions and allowing you to make any modifications to your vehicle you may desire. Some of the other benefits include:
- The ability to increase your equity as you make payments on your vehicle.
- The opportunity to sell or trade-in your current vehicle to increase your buying power when it’s time to get your next car, truck, or SUV.
- No additional fees for scratches or extra damage done to your car.
Keep in mind that your monthly payments will often be higher than a lease, and outside of any warranties you may receive upon purchase you’ll still be on the hook for any maintenance costs.
