Should You Lease or Buy Your Next Car?

June 14, 2018

Looking to get a new car? The question is, should you buy your next car or lease it? To help you weigh your options, we will look at how leasing a car and buying a car compare according to what your priority is.

 
 
 

 

 

Keeping Minimal Down Payment:

  • Lease if you want to pay as little as possible upfront.

  • Buy if you would rather pay more upfront to shrink your monthly payment.

 

Keeping Your Credit History Out of It:

  • Lease if you are confident in your credit history. You must have good credit to lease.

  • Buy if you would rather your credit history go unscrutinized.

 

Other Big Financial Expenses:

  • Lease if you are not paying for a mortgage or family expenses.

  • Buy is you have a mortgage or budgeting for a family.

 

Long-Distance Driving:

  • Lease if you do not have far to drive. You may be paying extra if you drive over a certain number of miles.

  • Buy is you consistently put many hours on the road.

 

For Business Use:

  • Lease if you can claim your car as a business expense as leasing expenses are deductible.

  • Buy is you cannot claim your car as a business expense.

 

Longevity:

  • Lease if you prefer to replace your car every two or three years.

  • Buy is you would rather drive one car for as long as possible.

 

Future Improvising:

  • Lease if you are comfortable committing to the full time period of the lease.

  • Buy if you want the option to sell your car if something happens.

 

Giving Yourself a Head Start:

  • Lease if you are okay starting from scratch each time you get a new car.

  • Buy if you prefer getting trade-in value when you buy a new car.
