Most car shoppers usually do not think twice about if they are going to buy or lease a car. A great deal of them automatically chose to purchase a car because leasing seems so expensive. But, there are some times when leasing makes sense.
When you lease a car, you enter an agreement with the leasing agent to keep the car for a minimum of six months and pay a monthly lease payment. You are able to negotiate the lease price in the same fasion you would if you were to buy the car. In fact, you should discuss the price, but be cautious that a price reduction does not result in increased prices elsewhere in the lease deal.
People have the notion that when you lease a car it is more costly than when you buy one, when it fact that’s not always the case. Buying a car is only cheaper if you keep the car long after it’s been paid off. However, if you’re like many people, and trade your car in before it’s paid off, you’re losing money. If you’re only going to keep a car for a few years, leasing it is a better option.
The monthly payments on a car lease range anywhere from 30% to 60% lower than payments each month on a car loan. So, you save money on a car lease, if you lease it for a couple of years. But that’s only if you would have traded in a vehicle that you bought after the same length of time. If you want to keep your car for a long time, it’s cheaper to buy a car. For example, it’s cheaper purchase a car and keep it for 10 years than it is to lease a car for the same amount of time.
One of the disadvantages of leasing a car is the audit process it goes through when you hand it in. The lease agent will go over the car with a fine-toothed comb to evaluate the damages done to the car. You’ll have to pay extra fees for anything more than”normal wear and tear” which could include things like miles over the allowance and excessive dings on the car.
When the lease is over you don’t have any car payments, but you also don’t have anything to drive unless you decide to buy the leased car or another one.
Deciding whether to buy or lease a car isn’t just about price. You should also consider your personal lifestyle in the choice.
You should choose car buying over leasing when: You can afford bigger payments each month, you prefer to drive your car for a long time, you can afford to pay for repairs once the warranty is up, you drive more than 15,000 miles per year, you want to modify or customize your car, you tend to mistreat your cars or, you want to own a car.
You should decide to lease your car over buying when: You want lower monthly payments, you prefer to get a new car every 2-4 years, you don’t want to pay for expensive repairs, you drive fewer than 15,000 miles per year or, you keep your car in good shape.
You’re usually expected to obtain a higher credit score when you lease a car than when you purchase one. That’s because leases have smaller down payments and monthly payments. If you have a poor credit history, you might need to pay a higher interest rate on the lease. Or worse, you could have your lease application denied all together.
