Buy vs Lease near Oak Lawn, IL
Are you looking to make a purchase on a new Kia vehicle, but are debating between financing and leasing? If so, then youโll be happy to know that we at Evergreen Kia are experienced in both options and have some information to share that may help you reach a decision more quickly. After youโve read through this overview, be sure to contact our Finance Department to discuss purchasing options in even more detail!
Financing
The biggest upside to acquiring a vehicle through financing is gaining full ownership. If youโre the type of person who needs the ability to make a trip through Oak Lawn at any given time without limit, then youโll want the full freedom to do so. Going this route is also highly recommendable if thereโs a specific vehicle you know and love, and are certain that youโll be satisfied with driving it for years to come. And of course, having complete ownership also means that youโll be able to sell or trade it in if your heart should so ever desire, which is a great way to reduce the cost on a future purchase.
Leasing
While leasing isnโt necessarily any more complicated than financing, there are some characteristics that confuse many people initially. First, you wonโt gain full ownership of a vehicle when you lease it. Rather, youโre essentially borrowing it for the duration of the contract, which is typically two to four years. Along with that, youโll also be given a mileage limit that needs to be adhered to. So, you wonโt be able to drive up and down Route 50 as much as you like. However, with these restraints comes a considerably lower cost, because you only have to cover the expected depreciation on the vehicle instead of its full price. Leasing is also a fantastic option for those who donโt prefer being attached to one vehicle for a prolonged period. So, thatโs another factor to consider when choosing this route to acquire something from our inventory.
Which is Right for You?
Now that you understand the most significant differences between financing and leasing, youโll want to decide which of the two youโd prefer. One isnโt objectively better than the other, as how you feel about the various pros and cons will ultimately come down to your own situation. If you have kids that need to be driven to clubs and after-school activities on a weekly basis, on top of your own commutes to work, then financing may be the better option. However, leasing may be preferable when youโre only making the occasional trip to Patrick Sullivan Park to get some fresh air, as the mileage limit wonโt be a hindrance. Our doors at Evergreen Kia are always open to our customers, so please donโt hesitate to visit us if youโre in need of further consultation on this topic!
