Leases Vs Loans-Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages of Leasing a New Mitsubishi Car, Crossover, or SUV:

• With a lease, your payments cover the cost of depreciation in value, rather than the total cost of the vehicle, as with a loan; as a result, your monthly payments will likely be lower for a new Mitsubishi you lease than if you had purchased it.
• When you lease, you don't have to commit to forever with the same vehicle, since most leases last three to five years; at the end of your lease, you turn the vehicle back into the dealership and you're free and clear to move onto something else-another new Mitsubishi perhaps?
• If you don't drive often, you could benefit from a low-mileage lease, which restricts how many miles you can drive, but gives you a cost-savings based on the infrequency.

Advantages of Buying with a Loan:

• When you buy your Mitsubishi in the Johnson City area, you have no restrictions on how far you can drive your vehicle-the same is not true of a Mitsubishi you lease!
• With a lease, you have to stick to a maintenance schedule or you can be fined at the end-but when you buy, you are your own master, and while you should stick to a maintenance schedule, no one will fine you if you don't!
• One huge advantage to buying your vehicle with a loan is that you'll build equity and credit, assuming on-time payments. With a lease, you won't build any equity at all!
