Should I Buy or Lease a Car?

As you peruse the selection of top-notch new and pre-owned vehicles at our Chevy, GMC and Buick dealership near Mill Basin, NY, you're bound to find the perfect model for your lifestyle and budget. Whether you're looking at rugged pickup trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra or fuel-efficient sedans such as the Chevy Cruze or Buick Cascada, you can get behind the wheel of a vehicle that meets your needs here.

Once our knowledgeable sales team ensures you've explored everything our inventory has to offer, our auto finance experts can help you make buying or leasing your dream car a reality. However, you might not know which financial solution works best for your driving preferences and anticipated monthly payments. Buying a car can be more expensive right off the bat, but there are many benefits to owning a vehicle such as taking long road trips without worrying about mileage restrictions and being able to fully customize the look of your car. Meanwhile, leasing a Buick or Chevy allows you to upgrade your ride every few years without having to consider the future market value of the car you choose.

You should buy a vehicle if...

• Your budget allows you to cover up-front costs like a down payment, taxes, registration and other fees.
• You like to customize and update your car with after-market parts and accessories.
• You plan to drive the same car for many years.
• You don't want your travels to be limited by mileage restrictions.

You should lease a vehicle if...

• You want lower monthly payments than you'd have with an auto loan.
• You like to drive the latest Chevy, Buick and GMC models, as lease terms make it easy to trade-up to the newest iterations when the contract ends.
• You know that you won't go over the allotted mileage set out in the lease.
