Compare Leasing vs. Buying

What will it be? Will you choose a Mazda lease deal when it comes time to sign the dotted line or do you think you’ll apply for financing to take advantage of our exceptional financing options? It’s a tough decision, but we’re here to assist. To start, here are some highlights of both leasing and buying:

Leasing vs. Buying: Monthly Cost

  • Leasing: When you lease, you’ll get to enjoy a lower monthly car payment. Depending on your area and situation, you may pay less on taxes as well. Additionally, when it comes time to upgrade and swap out your lease, your lease payment won’t change much.
  • Financing: Opt for financing and your monthly car payment will typically be higher than leasing. However, you get the chance to own your vehicle at the end of your financing terms and potentially enjoy no car payment at all.

Leasing vs. Buying: Limitations

  • Leasing: When it comes to leasing, you will likely have mileage limitations you may need to adhere to. There may even be additional restrictions that could apply to your leasing contract.
  • Financing: One of the main advantages of financing is you can drive as you please around Staten Island. You’re essentially paying to own your vehicle, so you will not have to return your vehicle at the end of your financing terms.

Leasing vs. Buying: Customizations

  • Leasing: Your lease contract will likely require that your vehicle is in factory condition when it comes time to turn it in. That means you should avoid customizing a leased vehicle.
  • Financing: Add style and flair to your financed vehicle if you so wish to stand out on the Queens roads. However, keep in mind that customizing your new vehicle could void your warranty.

Leasing vs. Buying: Flexibility

  • Leasing: At the end of your lease, you’ll have the option to get a new lease, return your lease, or outright purchase your leased vehicle. Leasing offers tons of flexibility and is a great way to continuously and easily upgrade to a new vehicle every few years.
  • Financing: With financing, you’ve also got plenty of flexibility. After your financing terms are over, you can do whatever you want with your vehicle as you now own it.
