Honda Financing vs Leasing
Another component to consider when selecting your next car is whether you want to buy or lease. Depending on a few different factors, including your long-term automotive goals, leasing or financing may be a better option for you. The main difference between leasing and financing is vehicle ownership.
Perks of Vehicle Ownership
If you choose to finance your next car, you will likely make a down payment and then take out a car loan to cover the remaining cost of the vehicle. Once you’ve paid back your car loan in full, you will officially own your vehicle. When you own a car, you can:
- Customize it however you want
- Put as many miles on it as you need to
- Sell or trade it in at any point
Financing or buying a car also means you can expect to get a portion of what you paid for the vehicle back at some point in the future, which you can then apply toward your next car.
Benefits of Leasing
On the other hand, leasing is like renting a vehicle for an extended period of time. Another way to look at it is like a multi-year test drive. By the time your lease term ends, you’ll know your Honda lease inside and out.
With a Honda lease, drivers can experience the latest, most cutting-edge automotive features. The cost of leasing a new or late-model year Honda will generally be lower than making monthly loan payments on the same car. Lease terms also generally include a mileage restriction, as well as warranty coverage to protect the vehicle.
When your lease term ends, you will then have a few different options to choose from:
- Trade in your lease for a newer or upgraded Honda model
- Return your lease to the dealership
- Buy your lease from the dealership
The good news is that if you end up loving your Honda lease, you can easily make it your own. For some drivers, this freedom may be appealing, while others may prefer to finance.
Leasing & Buying: Tips for How to Choose
If you still aren’t sure which is the best option for you, check out our Lease vs. Finance post. You can also schedule a one-on-one meeting with a member of our finance team to discuss all your options in depth. Additionally, as you consider the possibilities, you can take a moment to ask yourself a few questions:
- Do I want both the responsibility and perks of owning a car?
- Do I want the ability to completely customize my car?
- Do I mind having mileage restrictions?
- Do I want to drive a newer model right now?
- Do I want the option to upgrade my vehicle every few years?
