Buy vs. Lease

SHOULD YOU BUY OR LEASE A NEW CAR?

Both buying and leasing are viable options for car shoppers in CA. But only one option is right for you.

Here's how to know whether you should buy or lease your new Buick or GMC in Indio, CA.

YOU SHOULD LEASE IF...

You love new tech.

Are you the type to camp outside Best Buy, waiting for the latest iPhone? Then you'll love the ability to drive a brand new Buick or GMC model with the latest technology by leasing it as soon as it hits the market — without handing over thousands of dollars to buy it outright. Plus, since most leases last only a couple years, you can upgrade your vehicle as frequently as you upgrade your phone.

You don't like to wait.

Leasing is a super streamlined process. You know exactly what to expect when you sign the contract — and when it's up, you simply drop the vehicle off at the Indio, CA car dealership where you bought it! Not only that, leases often come with factory warranties, scheduled maintenance, and other benefits, like free oil changes. Sign us up!

You want low monthly payments.

Who wouldn't, right? With leasing, not only do you typically enjoy lower monthly payments than you would with an auto loan, you also often don't have to pay a down payment at all (or if you do, it's fairly small). In general, leasing is a great option for those who want to drive a higher-priced, better-equipped vehicle for a much lower cost than it's actually worth.
