Lease Vs. Buy

Lease Vs Buy at Barry's Chevrolet

Buying a new Chevrolet is an exciting time, but many people need a little help with the purchase, which comes in the form of a loan or lease. While both options offer paths to vehicle ownership, there are several key differences between them that you’ll want to be aware of before you start shopping.  

When Should You Buy a New Chevy? 

Financing a new Chevy near West Union is the best course of action if: 

  • You prefer to keep your car for several years (over three years, the typical lease length) 
  • Your driving style doesn’t jive with mileage limits 
  • You put a lot of wear and tear on your vehicles 
  • You tend to move between states frequently 

When Should You Lease a New Chevy? 

If buying a new car doesn’t hold much appeal, a new lease from Chevy near West Union could be your best choice. Leasing may be the best option if: 

  • You enjoy swapping cars every few years 
  • You like the latest and greatest tech and safety features 
  • You don’t drive more than 12,000 miles per year (higher-mileage leases may be available) 
  • You want to avoid trade-in hassles 

There are upsides and downsides with both choices, but most people who opt for financing over leasing do so because they will end up owning the vehicle at the end of the loan term. Many prefer this security of ownership after the payments are finished. Leasing is closer to a long-term rental, which is appealing for people who love having the latest features.  

The team at our Chevy dealership would be excited to discuss finance and lease options for popular new models like the Chevy Silverado EV and Equinox. We’ll help you explore all the options and find solutions that work for you. 

Leasing Versus Buying a Pre-Owned Chevy 

One of the most significant differences between leasing and buying comes on the pre-owned side of the business. In the vast majority of cases, pre-owned vehicles cannot be leased and must be purchased with a loan, cash, or other funding. That’s because of the greater risk with used vehicles, which often have higher mileage and can have an unpredictable residual value.
