Why Should I Buy My Next Vehicle?

  • No Mileage Restrictions: If you have a long commute to the office or you plan to do a lot of traveling, you are not restricted by mileage limits when you finance.
  • No Additional Charges: You are not charged for any excess wear and tear on the vehicle.
  • Customization: With financing, the customization possibilities are endless. You are free to modify your vehicle as you see fit.
  • Ability to Sell: Since you’re not locked into a lease agreement, you are free to sell the car at any time.
  • Less Cost Over Time: Though buying a new car is more expensive upfront, the longer you own your vehicle, the more affordable vehicle ownership becomes.

Why Should I Lease My Next Vehicle?

  • Lower Payments: If you decide to lease, you can enjoy lower monthly payments and a lower down payment.
  • Less Sales Tax: In most states, leasing a vehicle drastically lowers sales tax. In some areas, you only have to pay tax on the amount you put forth in the down payment and for the monthly payments.
  • Trade-Ins: As your lease agreement comes to a close, you do not have to worry about trying to sell the car when it is time for something new.
  • Warranty Coverage: As long as you stay within mileage limits, your vehicle should be covered by warranty for the duration of the lease.
  • New Features: Leasing gives you the flexibility to drive a brand new car with the latest features every couple of years.
