The Benefits of Leasing vs. Buying 

Should you lease or buy a car for your Bucyrus commute? It’s not always a simple question to answer. Take a moment to review the differences between leasing vs. buying your next vehicle below: 

• Leasing: Leasing is the same as renting. You get private access to a vehicle for several years, and your money goes to cover the estimated depreciation that occurs over your tenure as the lessee. Since you’re not on the line for the total value of the vehicle, you’ll enjoy lower monthly payments, and next to no down payment requirements. At lease-end, you’ll also enjoy the flexibility of being able to end your lease, change it for another vehicle, finance the remaining value, or renew. 
• Financing: This means you’re taking out a loan on the total value of your next vehicle. While you’ll need to make a larger down payment and larger monthly payments, you retain the right to sell the vehicle at any time and the funds from the sale are yours to keep! In the long run, financing is the most financially rewarding strategy, but it requires greater commitment, more money upfront, and greater sacrifices from your monthly budget.
