When it is time for you to get into a new ride there are a few choices to make. What model, color, and trim – can be a little overwhelming. And just when you thought you were done deciding, you have one choice left to make. To buy or to lease your next vehicle. And, we know this can be a hard choice but we’ve dedicated our blog this week to making the choice a little easier for you! Read below and when you’re done, head into our showroom to pick out your new Kia!

Why you’ll want to Lease:

• Lower monthly payments: leasing a new vehicle will get you into that new ride while not having to pay an arm and a leg for a monthly payment. You may even be able to upgrade to a higher trim level or add on a few advanced options while staying within your budget.

• Little down payment: when it comes to leasing a new vehicle, there may be a required small down payment or none at all depending on the deal you’ve agreed upon. If you have a trade-in, this could be your down payment and will keep you from shelling out cash from your pocket.

• Latest models/ technology: one of the benefits of leasing a vehicle is being able to drive the latest models with upgraded technology features. In today’s industry, cars are always evolving and coming out with better and more efficient features, who wouldn’t love to get their hands on those? If you are someone who loves have the latest and greatest – leasing is probably for you.

• Selling your trade-in: when you lease, you won’t have to worry about selling your vehicle. Drop your vehicle at the dealership and be on your way. It is that easy so, drop your old one off and pick up your new one in an easy breezy process.

Why you’ll want to buy:

• Monthly payments are no-more: once you successfully pay off your vehicle, you no longer have a monthly payment. You’ll only have to worry about paying for fuel, car services, and insurance. If you are the kind of driver who likes to own a vehicle until the wheels fall off – buying is probably the better option for you.

• No mileage restrictions: when you choose to buy, you are free to drive here, there, everywhere without anyone holding mileage restrictions over your head. If you tend to drive more than the average person or live somewhere where you do a lot of driving, buying your next vehicle is probably the smarter choice!

• Customize your vehicle: if you are the kind of driver that likes to customize your ride from top to bottom, buying is most definitely the better choice. You have the ability to add whatever you like without having to pay any customization or excess wear fees.

• Credit is in good standing: when buying your vehicle your credit doesn’t need to be in outstanding condition. Many people might have this problem and feel like they are trapped. Explore all your options and see where your interest rates may fall before deciding what choice is for you.

Each option has its positives and we’re here to work with you through the choices to ensure you get everything you want and need in a new vehicle. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and explore your options before deciding for sure!
