Buy vs. Lease - Big Valley Dodge
It's a common dilemma: lease versus buy, buy or lease, which is better?. Everyone who has ever considered leasing has had this question cross their mind. So what is the answer?

Leasing versus buying. The answer? It depends

Leases and loans are simply two different methods of automobile financing. One finances the use of a vehicle; the other finances the purchase of a vehicle. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

It's not possible to simply say that one is always better than the other because it depends on your own particular situation and preferences.

You make your first payment a month after you sign your contract.

When you lease, you pay for only a portion of the vehicle's cost, which is the part that you "use up" during the time you're driving it. You have the option of not making a down payment, you pay sales tax only on your monthly payments (in most states), and pay a money factor that is similar to the interest rate on a loan. With leases, you may also pay extra fees and possibly a security deposit that you don't pay when you buy. You make your first payment at the time you sign your
