Financing vs. Leasing

There's a lot to consider when shopping for a new car. One of the first decisions you will likely need to make is whether to lease or buy your new Subaru.

Finance Benefits

• Pay to own your new car, not just to use it for a few years. After your final payment is made, you can drive your Subaru for years to come. It's all yours.
• No mileage limit — especially important if you typically drive more than 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year.
• Modify or repaint the car, or install custom equipment, as you see fit.
• Enjoy the full benefit of your car's trade-in or resale value.

Lease Benefits

• Potentially pay less per month. Monthly lease payments are usually lower than monthly loan payments for the same term, because your monthly payment includes the vehicle's use and expected depreciation only during the lease term.
• Enjoy driving a new car more frequently.
• Have options at the end of your lease period — return the vehicle and lease another new Subaru or buying the one you've grown to love. If you decide to buy the car at lease-end, you will get a no-hassle preset purchase price.
• Minimize repair costs. Many people lease for the length of time the manufacturer's warranty is in effect. That way, most repairs are typically covered.
