Buy or Lease

The question of whether to lease or buy is important for every customer visiting our local Kia dealership. The issue isn't always black and white, and there are a few variables involved, so count on Folsom Lake Kia to help you decide which route is best. 

When You Should Buy

One of the biggest differences between buying and leasing is that pre-owned cars are seldom available for lease. So if you're interested in a certified pre-owned Kia Optima or a used Kia Sorento near El Dorado Hills, CA, you should opt to purchase. Another reason to buy is probably the most common one: the goal of paying the car off and driving for as long as possible without a car payment.

On the subject of money, the average car purchase saves money in the long run, as opposed to leasing. Also, purchased cars are good for building equity, which can then be leveraged when you visit our Kia dealership 12751 Folsom Blvd. in Folsom, CA and want to trade-in your vehicle for a new model.

When You Should Lease

Leasing a vehicle through our Kia finance department is popular with customers who want to drive a nice car for less money. This works especially well for business people who spend a lot of time in their car with and without clients because the vehicle can serve as a tax write-off.

Another reason to lease is if you love that "new car itch" - in other words, the idea of driving a new automobile every few years. A typical three-year lease allows a person to drive several different cars in the amount of time that a car owner drives the same vehicle.

Also, a leased car will most likely have lower maintenance and repair costs, because you'll own the vehicle while it's still under warranty.

Leasing vs. Buying

There's no wrong answer to the question of whether to lease or buy. It all depends on your budget and lifestyle. Visit our Kia dealership serving Roseville, CA today and talk further with our nearby Kia dealers about whether you'd be better of leasing or buying your next Kia car.
