Compare buying and leasing a Subaru in Delray Beach
The right choice depends on your budget, driving habits and how long you plan to keep your vehicle. Compare the total cost and contract terms, along with the monthly payment.
Buying with an auto loan
Loan payments reduce the amount you owe toward ownership. Compare the APR, loan term, amount financed and total payments. A longer term can lower the monthly payment while increasing the total interest paid. Once the loan is paid off, you own the vehicle. Mileage and condition can affect its resale value.
Leasing a vehicle
A lease lets you use a vehicle for an agreed term and mileage allowance. Monthly payments may be lower than a comparable loan, but compare the amount due at signing, rent charges, taxes and fees. Early termination, excess mileage and excess wear can result in additional charges. At lease end, review any return fees and the purchase option, if included in your agreement.
Review your options before deciding
Rates, incentives and approval depend on the vehicle, available programs and lender requirements. Business-use tax treatment depends on your circumstances; consult a qualified tax adviser rather than assuming every lease payment is deductible.
