The Benefits of Financing a Vehicle

When you finance a vehicle, you plan to own the model outright. Some of the main benefits of financing include:

  • Ownership: When you finance a vehicle, you own it once the loan is paid off. The vehicle is yours to keep, sell or trade in as you wish
  • No mileage restrictions: Since you own the vehicle, there are no limits on how many miles you can drive it each year as there are with a lease
  • Customization: When you own the vehicle, you are free to customize or modify it however you like, from installing a new sound system to adding performance parts

The Benefits of Leasing a Vehicle

With a lease, you essentially rent the vehicle from the dealership for a set period of time, usually two to three years. Benefits include:

  • Lower monthly payments: Since you are only paying for the depreciation of the vehicle over the lease term and not the full purchase price, monthly lease payments are usually lower than financing payments
  • Always under warranty: Leased vehicles are almost always covered by the manufacturer's warranty for the duration of the lease, so any repairs are usually covered
  • Flexible terms. Lease agreements are usually more flexible than financing agreements. You can choose a longer or shorter lease term and set an annual mileage allowance that fits your needs.
