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 can discuss the lease price the same way you would if you were buying the car. In fact, you should negotiate the price, but be careful that a price reduction doesn’t result in increased prices elsewhere in the lease agreement.
People have the idea that leasing a car is more expensive than buying one, when actually that’s not always the circumstance. Buying a car is only less expensive when you keep the car for years after it’s been paid off. However, if you’re like many people, and trade your car in before it has been paid off, you’re losing money. If you’re only going to keep a car for a few years, leasing it is a better decision.
The monthly payments on a car lease are also anywhere from 30% to 60% lower than monthly payments on a car loan. So, you save money on leasing a car, if you do it for a few years. But that’s only if you would have traded in a purchased vehicle after the same length of time. If you plan 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 10 years.
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 chose to purchase 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 decide to buy a car instead of leasing when: You are able to afford higher monthly payments, you’d rather drive your car for a long time, you can afford to pay for repairs once the warranty has expired, you drive more than 15,000 miles each year, you want to modify or customize your car, you often mistreat your cars or, you want to own a car.
You should choose car leasing over buying when: You want lower payments each month, you’d rather get a new car every 2-4 years, you do not want to spend money on expensive repairs, you drive fewer than 15,000 miles each year or, you keep your car in good condition.
You are typically required to have a higher credit score when you lease a car than when you purchase one. That’s because leases have lower down payments and monthly payments. If you have a poor credit history, you may have to pay a higher interest rate on the lease. Or worse, you might have your lease application denied all together.
