What Are the Advantages of Buying?

There are several practical reasons to choose buying over leasing. Unlike leased vehicles, financed vehicles aren’t subject to mileage restrictions — a big advantage if you log heavy mileage on work trips beyond the Milan area. Here are few other points to consider as you compare leasing vs. buying options:

• Freedom to Upgrade – Leased vehicles can’t be upgraded with custom accessories, but there are no limits when you own your car!
• Sell Anytime – You are free to sell or trade your financed car at any point, while leased vehicles must be returned to the dealership at the end of the lease term.
• Bad Credit Financing – With in-house financing at your local dealership, it’s possible to finance a Hyundai vehicle with bad credit.
• Save Money Over Time – Financing does cost more upfront, but you’ll save money after you finish paying off your loan and build equity in the meantime.
• Trade Up – When it’s time for your next vehicle, you can offset the cost by trading in.
• Build Credit – As long as you make your payments on time, taking out an auto loan is a great way to build or rebuild credit!

Benefits of Leasing vs. Buying

So, why mightBrownsville drivers choose leasing vs. financing? For one, leasing a car can build or rebuild credit, although not as much as financing. But the biggest perk is the smaller payments: you can expect to pay less upfront and less each month with a lease. Other benefits of leasing include:

• Lower Tax – The sales tax rate in most states is lower for leased vehicles than financed vehicles.
• Easy Trade-In – Trading in a leased vehicle is quicker and easier than trading in a financed vehicle. Simply drop off your car at the dealership, and you’ll be headed home to Henderson in no more than an hour!
• Warranty Coverage – Just like a financed vehicle, a leased vehicle will be fully covered by your Hyundai factory warranty.
• New Technology – Looking for the latest performance and infotainment features? Leasing a new vehicle every three years is a great option.
