Lease or Finance: How Should You Drive Your Acura

Did you just find the perfect Acura vehicle for your cruising needs? Now it’s time for the big question: what’s better between leasing vs. financing a car? After all, both styles of payment help you cruise home in a new ride—but both work in opposite ways. No need to worry though, as today, we’ll cover the basics between leasing and financing to help with your choice—also, stop by Spitzer Acura McMurray near Pittsburgh, PA, and speak with our finance experts for further help tailored to your specific financial situation.

Like It Short and Sweet? Try a Lease

Do you want a short-term and minimal commitment plan for driving your next vehicle? Consider a lease, where you essentially engage in a long-term rental. All you do is pick a term (usually around 1-3 years), set a mileage allowance, and make a down payment and monthly payments that are typically cheaper than a loan of the same Acura vehicle. By the end of your term, you have a choice: You can buy the ride, return the car, or start a new lease in a different model—no wrong answer here, as it’s all based on what you want.

Keep in mind that you can’t make any permanent changes and you’ll need to stick within mileage limits with a lease—but if you need your vehicle for commuting, running errands, and taking an occasional adventure, a lease can usually work for you.

Long-Term Ownership and Freedom: Should You Finance?

Thinking ahead and planning on owning your Acura vehicle for years to come? Then a loan is usually a better option since you make a down payment and a series of monthly payments until you fully own the car. Also, since the ride is technically yours, you can make any permanent changes you want, which makes it ideal for modifying a sporty model like the Integra or getting a paint job on your MDX. Plus, you have no mileage or wear and tear fees—so, feel free to take your NSX to the track and have countless hours of fun—or take a few road trips in your Acura RDX—you own the vehicle, so find all the excitement you want.
