Lease a Car in Houston vs. Buying: An Brief Guide

If you’re wondering what financing plan you need for your next vehicle, there are plenty of options and factors to consider. Our finance team is ready to help you find the right option for you and your vehicle, like whether you’re interested in valuing your trade or looking to get pre-approved today! Below is a brief overview, but you can always learn more through department directly:

• Leasing can often be a more affordable option, as you finance only the depreciation of the vehicle and return it at the end of the lease period (usually 2-3 year), although if you’re looking for used car finance, leasing is rarely an option.
• Thanks to leasing, you’ll be able to experience the latest models on your favorite short rides and day-to-day routes around Baytown and return the vehicle before age-related issues set in, partly due to its mileage and customization restrictions and because there can be steep penalties for returning the vehicle in poor condition.
• Buying your vehicle ensures that you own it outright once the loan is paid in full, which means you can make it your own the way you want with all the new upgrades and accessories.
• Buying also means you’ll be able to drive wherever, whenever, but it also means you’ll need to be able to afford a 10- to 20-percent down payment, which still likely comes with higher payments than leasing.
