What are My Plans for this Vehicle?

Before you ask any questions at the dealership, it’s important to ask yourself a few questions first. These questions can help you determine if buying or leasing is your best option.

• How long do you plan to drive this vehicle?
• What are your needs out of a vehicle?
• Is it important for you to build up equity?
• What is your budget?

How Much Can I Afford?

Prices can vary drastically when financing and leasing and it’s undoubtedly a major factor for many car buyers. Getting preapproved is an important first step to help you determine what you can afford. An auto payment calculator can also help by giving you an estimate of your monthly payment. You want to ensure the estimate aligns with your budget.

What are the Benefits of Leasing and Financing?

There are major benefits to both financing (or buying) and leasing.

• Buying: Best if you have long-term plans for your vehicle and have goals of owning a vehicle. You can build up equity if you buy a vehicle, which is beneficial for buyers wanting a trade-in down the road.
• Leasing: Great for drivers who want the benefits of a new vehicle (new technology, modern styles, less maintenance, etc.). It’s also more affordable than buying.
