Should You Buy or Lease Your Next New Subaru?
Bedford Subaru Has Some Answers
At Thomas Subaru in Bedford, we're proud to offer an extensive selection of new Subaru models available for lease or purchase. Whether you're drawn to the rugged versatility of the Outback, the sporty performance of the WRX, or the family-friendly comfort of the Forester, we have the perfect Subaru to fit your lifestyle. But when it comes to deciding whether to buy or lease, the choice can be a bit overwhelming.
One of the most significant differences between buying and leasing is the upfront cost. When you buy a new Subaru, you're typically financing the full purchase price, which can lead to higher monthly payments. Leasing, on the other hand, involves paying a monthly fee for the right to drive the vehicle for a specific period. This often translates to lower monthly payments and requires less upfront investment.
Another advantage of leasing is the reduced maintenance burden. Many leases include factory warranty coverage for the entire lease term, meaning you'll have peace of mind knowing that any necessary repairs or maintenance will be covered. Additionally, leasing allows you to drive a new car every few years, ensuring you're always behind the wheel of a modern, reliable vehicle.
However, buying a Subaru does offer certain benefits, such as the ability to customize the vehicle to your exact preferences and the freedom to drive as many miles as you want without incurring additional charges. Plus, owning a car can be a valuable asset that can appreciate over time.
Ultimately, the decision of whether to buy or lease a new Subaru depends on your individual needs and circumstances. If you're looking for a hassle-free, affordable way to drive a new car every few years, leasing might be the right choice for you. But if you prefer the flexibility and potential long-term value of ownership, buying could be a better option.
