Looking to own a car but don't know whether you want to lease or finance?

When it comes to choosing between leasing and financing a vehicle, the choice ultimately comes down to what your long-term intentions are. Ask yourself do you like to have a new car every few years or do you plan to drive your car until it can't drive anymore?

LEASING

• Lease payments are almost always lower that loan payments
• You don't own the vehicle and unless you decide to buy it, you would have to return it at the end of its lease
• When your lease is finished, you get to lease a new car without the worry of selling or trading in the old one
• If you are a frequent drive, you may go over the mileage limit and have financial penalties for exceeding them

FINANCING

• More flexibility with how you use your car
• Allows you to make any modifications to your vehicle
• Allows you to drive as you please and not have to worry about kilometres
• You have to pay up front, meaning you may have to take out a loan either through the dealership or a bank with interest
• Once you pay off your car, you and only you are the sole owner

The choice to lease or buy ultimately comes down to what your long-term intentions are, so ask yourself do you like to have a new car every few years or do you plan to drive your car until it can't drive anymore?
