Frequently Asked Questions About Financing and Leasing
Absolutely! We accept trade-ins and offer a fair market appraisal for your vehicle. The trade-in value can go toward your down payment, reducing your financing amount. If you still owe on your vehicle, we can often include the payoff in your new financing.
When your lease ends, you have three options: return the vehicle and lease or buy a different one, purchase it at the residual value, or return it with no further obligation if you've met the terms.
Lease agreements usually limit mileage to 10,000-15,000 miles annually. Exceeding this results in a per-mile fee, but opting for a higher mileage lease upfront can be cheaper than overage charges.

Understanding Auto Financing
Auto financing lets you buy a vehicle by borrowing and repaying with interest. You own it once the loan is paid. It's ideal for those keeping the vehicle long-term, driving unlimited miles, and building equity.
With financing, you'll make monthly payments over 36 to 72 months. The interest rate depends on factors like credit score, loan term, vehicle age, and market conditions. A larger down payment can lower monthly payments and total interest.
Exploring Leasing Options
Leasing lets drivers pay for vehicle depreciation during the lease instead of the full price, often leading to lower monthly payments. Lease periods are usually 24 to 48 months, with 36 months most common.
Leasing suits customers who want newer vehicles with the latest tech and safety features. At lease end, you can return the vehicle and lease new ones, buy at residual value, or walk away. This flexibility appeals to those avoiding long-term ownership.
Financing vs. Leasing: Making the Right Choice
Choosing between financing and leasing depends on your driving habits, financial goals, and preferences. Opt for financing if you drive over 12,000-15,000 miles yearly, want to customize, plan to keep the car long-term, or prefer to own it outright without monthly payments.
Leasing may be better if you want lower monthly payments, drive new vehicles often, stay within typical miles, and value warranty coverage. Our finance team can help assess your options.
