Finance vs. lease:
the pros & cons
We understand that everyone has unique priorities and goals when it comes to cars, life, and finances. That's why choosing between financing and leasing can be a highly individual decision. To assist you in making the best choice for your budget and lifestyle, our team of exceptional finance experts is available to help.
Financing
Pros of buying
- You own your Lincoln
- Travel for as many kilometers as you want each year
- When you’ve paid off your laon, you’re free of payments and you build equity in your vehicle
- Add accessories, such as a roof rack, cargo carrier, or running boards.
Cons of buying
- The vehicle will depreciate over time
- You'll need to pay for repairs when the warranty expires
- As your car gets older, the repair costs may be higher
- When it’s time to get a new car, you need to sell or trade it in
Leasing
Pros of leasing
- Monthly payments may be lower than financing
- Get to drive a new car every two or three years and experience the latest features
- If you intend to move or travel further afield in the next few years, then you won’t have a car to sell
- You won't have a vehicle that depreciates over time.
Cons of leasing
- Keep the vehicle maintained and in good condition to avoid extra changes at the end of the lease
- A limit on the annual number of kilometers you can drive
- If you always lease, monthly payments never end
- You will likely face penalties if you can’t afford to make the lease payments
