Preston for Lifeshould you buy or lease a car

Here are some key takeaways on whether you should buy or lease a car:

  • Buying with cash or financing with a loan means you will own the entire vehicle over time and can be more cost-effective over the long term, but you’ll be responsible for maintenance and repairs after warranty expiration.

 

  • When you purchase with cash or finance a new Ford, you can customize it, sell it, or trade it as you please. But each year the vehicle depreciates.

 

  • Leasing provides you the opportunity to drive a car with the latest technology and features at a lower monthly payment than financing, with a manufacturer warranty and lower maintenance costs. However, there are mileage and wear-and-tear restrictions.

 

  • A Ford lease often requires less of a down payment but can be costly in the long run if there are mileage fees or you need to end your lease agreement early.
