Ventura Auto Center

If you are in the market for a new car, you have the option to buy the car outright, or you can lease the car instead. Whether you are buying or leasing, you should have all the facts in front of you so you can make an informed decision on the matter.

Car Leasing

Leasing a car is like leasing a house, or an apartment. You pay for the right to use the property. A car lease is generally the better option if you like to cycle through cars every few years. Car leasing generally requires you to pay an upfront fee, plus a monthly payment for 24-36 months. Once the lease term is up, you can return the car and you owe nothing further. The only downside is that you have to keep the car under a certain mileage limit, usually 12,000 miles a year.

Buying A Car

The question of whether to buy or lease car is a moot one if you want to grow equity in your asset, or if you want to own the car outright once it is paid for. When you buy the car, you are able to use it for as long as you want, and have the ability to cash it in when you are ready for a new car. You don’t have any mileage limits, nor do you have to pay more if the car is damaged.

Whether you are buying or leasing, you should understand all the facts and contemplate what your car is for. If you want the car for the long haul, and for equity, you should buy the car. If not, a lease is probably a good option for you. Whether you buy or lease car, you should make a decision that is best for you.
