Leasing Vs. Financing
Leasing & Financing at Regency Lexus Vancouver
Whether to lease or purchase your vehicle is a matter of personal preference.
Buying means you pay the full purchase price plus taxes up-front. Unless you have cash in hand, you will likely need outside financing help. Leasing is an extremely popular alternative because it generally results in a lower monthly cost than a financed purchase.
Here are some key factors to help determine whether leasing or purchasing is a better option for you:
| What is most important to you... | Leasing | Buying |
|---|
| Lower monthly payments | Yes | |
| Lower up-front costs | Yes | |
| Vehicle ownership | | Yes |
| More "car" for your monthly payment | Yes | |
| Driving your vehicle for many years | | Yes |
| A new vehicle more often | Yes | |
| No restrictions on Kms | | Yes |
| Less resale or trade-in hassles | Yes | |
| No wear and tear restrictions | | Yes |
| The freedom to alter the vehicle's appearance | | Yes |
| Let's see how the numbers work: | Leasing | Buying |
|---|
| Price | $45,000 | $45,000 |
| Taxes | N/A | $6,300 |
| Balance to Finance | $45,000 | $51,750 |
