Buy or Lease

Choosing the car, truck, or SUV that you want to drive is a big decision. Another big choice is deciding whether you want to buy or lease. Each one offers some great benefits, but which one is right for you? To help drivers in Port Arthur, Nederland, and Lake Charles decide, Energy Country Ford looks at the ins and outs of both options.

Benefits of Buying

Buying a car is the kind of investment you can be proud of. You’re making a big commitment with lots of long-term benefits. Once the vehicle is all yours, you can do whatever you want with it. Feel free to customize it by adding some accessories or take it on a cross-country road trip.

Another perk is that one day, your car will be completely paid off. When you sign on the dotted line, you’ll make a down payment and start making monthly payments. If you stay on top of your monthly payments, you won’t need to make them anymore eventually. Once the full value and the interest are paid off, you’ll be done financing altogether.

You’ll also have the option to hold onto it for a long time. If it’s still in good condition years from now, you can even hand it down to your kids. When you decide it’s time to get something new, you can trade in your used car and get a better rate on your new one.

Benefits of Leasing

Leasing offers a fun alternative to buying. It’s more of a short-term commitment that gives you the opportunity to upgrade every few years. It starts by agreeing to a lease term that’s usually 24 to 36 months long. Once your lease is up, you’ll return the vehicle to the dealership.

Then, you’ll get to decide what you want to drive next. For example, if you’ve been driving the Ford Escape and want to stick with it, you can lease a brand-new Escape model and get all the latest features. It’s also a fun way to try different trim levels.

On top of upgrading every couple of years, choosing to lease also lets you adapt to your needs. A lot can happen in three years. If your family has grown, you can conveniently make your next lease a larger SUV instead, such as the Ford Explorer.
