What are the benefits of leasing?

  • FLEXILIBILITY: At the end of your lease, you are free and clear to pick something new to drive. You also have the option to purchase at the end of your lease for a set amount.
  • NO HASSLE: You don’t have to worry about selling it or getting a fair price for trade-in. You can simply turn it in and move on.
  • IMPROVED MANTAINENANCE: Since you are always driving a newer vehicle, maintenance repairs are much less of a concern. Plus, you have full warranty coverage for the life of your lease!
  • You can experience NEW more often! You can upgrade to newer models more frequently.
  • LOWER DOWN PAYMENT: Based on the lease structure, your down payment may be less than buying.
  • SAVE MONEY: Because you are only paying to drive the vehicle for a fixed period of time, the payments are typically lower than with buying. Also, you can consider vehicles with more options for a lower monthly payment. You aren’t as constrained by the overall price of the vehicle because you only pay for a portion of the vehicle that you use.
  • WORRY LESS ABOUT DEPRECIATION: At the end of your lease, you can enjoy driving without worrying about the decrease in value.
  • PAY FOR THE BEST MILES: By getting a monthly payment that is in tune with how much you drive, you’re paying for mileage in the best part of the vehicle’s life: when it’s new and still under warranty. You can work with the dealer to choose the mileage limit that is best for you.
