Advantages of Leasing

If your biggest concern is getting lower monthly payments, and you're okay with switching cars every three years or so, leasing a new Nissan car, truck, or SUV may be your best option. With a Nissan lease, you:

  • Have lower monthly payments with little or no down payment makes it possible for you to drive a newer or bigger vehicle at a lower cost.
  • Can drive a better car for less money, and pay less sales tax.
  • Have lower repair costs because you are under the vehicle's included factory warranty.
  • Can more easily transition to a new car every two or three years.
  • Don't have kind of trade-in hassles at the end of the lease.

Advantages of Buying

If you'd rather keep the same car for a while, it may be a better idea to purchase a new Nissan and hold on to it for as long as it's reliable. Once your car loan is paid off, you can keep the vehicle and you'll no longer make payments. By purchasing your vehicle, you:

  • Can customize their new model with parts, accessories, body paint, and more.
  • Can save money over the long term.
  • Can drive the vehicle as much as you like. There's no excess mileage penalty or wear-and-tear charges.
  • Have more flexibility, since you can sell the car whenever you want.
  • Can sell your vehicle or use the car as a trade-in on the next vehicle you buy.

Leasing Cons:

  • You don't own your vehicle at the end of the lease, though you will have the option to buy.
  • You can't modify your vehicle with any accessories or upgrades that may damage it.
  • Drivers may experience mileage caps or wear-and-tear charges while leasing their vehicle and may have to purchase more miles if necessary.

Buying Cons:

  • Drivers can expect higher upfront costs to avoid owing more than what the car is worth.
  • You're responsible for all service charges once your warranty expires.
  • Owners could potentially experience frustrating trade-in and selling hassles when you're trying to purchase your next vehicle.

The financing method you choose is determined by what best suits your long-term plans. Leasing can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis, but you can't do modifications to a car you're leasing, and you have less flexibility on mileage and re-sale. If you want a luxury car for business, a lease may enable you to have a better car for less money, and it may make for a good tax write-off. But you can't re-sell or trade-in a leased car, since you don't own it. Our Sales professionals can work with you to determine whether applying for an auto loan or lease is right for you.
