Buying vs Leasing

Major Reasons To Think about Buying a Car

One factor to keep in mind if you're leaning toward purchasing your next daily driver is that your credit score doesn't need to be as high as it does if you were leasing. 

Something else to keep in mind is that when the car is paid off, it belongs to you. As a result, you have the freedom to make any modifications you would like to customize the ride according to your particular preferences.  

Top Benefits of Leasing 

Leasing means that you're not going to be financially responsible for the automobile's value. Instead, you're only paying for it for the time that it is in your possession. This fact results in the likelihood that your down payment and monthly payments will be quite a bit lower. There's even a chance that you won't have a down payment! 

At the end of the lease, you won't have to go through the process of trading the car in with a reduced value. Instead, you simply have to return it to the dealer and think about what you'll be leasing next.
