What’s the difference between leasing vs financing?

When you finance a new car, you are taking out an auto loan and you own it. Leasing is similar to renting a car and making payments that allow you to use the car for an agreed upon amount of time. After the lease agreement expires, the car must be returned to the dealership.

Should I Lease or Purchase My Next Mazda?

  • Leasing is often less expensive from month to month.
  • If you choose to finance, you’ll own your vehicle after you’ve paid off your loan.
  • If you want a new Mazda every three years, leasing can cost less.
  • Leases charge more the more you drive, and might be a bad choice for high-mileage drivers.

What are the benefits of leasing?

Leasing is similar to renting, you make payments for the use of the car over a certain time period, and you return the car at the end of that period. A lease normally runs for 2-3 years, benefits of leasing include:

  • Lower monthly payments.
  • Never “upside-down”.
  • Fewer repair costs.
