Lease vs. Finance (Buy)
Below, we have laid out some of the key aspects of acquiring and driving a car and how they differ for leased and financed vehicles:
- Down Payment: When you lease a vehicle, you usually have a much smaller down payment than if you finance one. Some lease agreements don’t have a down payment at all!
- Owning Your Car: Leasing lets you try your new vehicle out before you decide whether to buy it. After a lease agreement is up, you can purchase the Honda for the agreed-upon amount, but you have no obligation and can have a fresh new car every few years. Most finance terms extend past the normal trade cycle of most consumers—a lease matches that shorter cycle.
-  Your Monthly Payments: Payments on a finance agreement are almost always higher than lease payments. On a lease, you only pay for the wear you put on the vehicle over the length of the contract. Financing incorporates the total cost of the vehicle—as well as taxes and interest—into your monthly payment. You can usually lease a nicer car for less than it would cost to finance one in your budget.
- Limited Mileage: Many people finance so they don’t have to worry about mileage limits, but with Honda, you can set your own monthly mileage limit when you start a lease. We’ll work with you to find one that fits your driving needs.
- Required Maintenance: Aside from routine maintenance like tire rotations and oil changes, leased vehicles rarely have maintenance or repair needs, as they are almost always under warranty coverage. Most finance terms extend past the normal warranty period.
- Save on Taxes: You have to cover the taxes on the total cost of the vehicle at the time of purchase if you are financing, and the interest builds on the taxes as well. Many times, you only have to pay tax on your monthly payment for a lease, giving you even greater savings.
