Buy or Lease your car

Add News

 To buy or Lease, that is the question. The answer depends on each individual's needs, perception, and situation. In some cases, a Car Lease seems a better option, while in others, buying the car makes more sense. There are plenty of options available and many companies offer Car Lease Deals for short term and long-term leases.

Whether to buy a car or lease a car depends on an individual's situation and what is affordable and required. For example, if you are the kind of person who likes to drive a new car every two years, a Car Lease makes more sense. Of course, you should also be able to afford the monthly payments of a leased car. But if you are someone who is satisfied with driving the same car for years, then buying the car is a better option

Another situation may be where a couple has purchased a sports car after getting married. But will soon require a larger car as they plan for a family. Should they opt to sell off the two-seater sports car, and buy a family car, or keep the sports car, and lease a family car? Depending on their financial situation, the couple may choose either of the options. For some couples starting a new life together cash may be short, making Car Leasing viable short-term solution. Once the finances have improved, they may opt for purchasing a car and give up the leased car. There are plenty of leasing companies that provide various Car Lease Deals for short-term and long-term leasing.

Another situation may be where an individual intends to lease a car or vehicle for the two to three years of the lease period and then buy the car. This ensures that they get to use the car for a monthly lease, and buy the car at the end of the lease period.

But some individuals and families are just put off at the thought of paying a monthly lease fee for using a car with monthly mileage restrictions, or pay extra for driving a few miles over the yearly limit. They prefer to purchase a car instead of opting for a Car Lease, and will simply ignore Car Lease Deals, even if they get a good deal. Whether to purchase a car or go for a lease is up to each individual and family's requirements and situation.

 

Lease in brief

If a car is worth £20,000 when new, and worth £13,000 when two years old, you will pay the £7,000 difference plus interest charges and other depreciation mark-ups. You then give the car back. So the monthly charges will be quite low.

Loan purchase in brief

If a car is worth £20,000, then that is what you pay, plus interest rates. So you will pay a far higher sum, but keep the car.
