Is it Better to Buy or Lease a MAZDA?

After you have chosen the Mazda model that’s right for you at Med Center Mazda, one of the subsequent decisions you’ll need to make is whether to buy it or lease it. Like other major car-buying decisions, the correct decision will depend on the needs of the buyer. Our dealers are happy to provide a guide that helps you decide when it is better to lease a Mazda and when it is better to buy a Mazda.

When to Buy a MAZDA

The main advantage of buying a Mazda car is the fact that you will eventually own it outright. You get to keep the car as long as you want it, with no restrictions. You can sell the vehicle or trade it in at our dealership whenever you decide it’s time for a new one. While the monthly payments on your car loan tend to be higher than lease payments, when the car is all paid off, you will be completely free of car payments.

When to Lease a MAZDA

A popular alternative to buying is leasing a Mazda car. The main advantages to leasing are the lower monthly payments and the lower level of required commitment. The lease-return process is simple, and when your lease term comes to an end, you have three options:

• Purchase the leased vehicle
• Return the leased vehicle and lease a new one
• Return the leased vehicle and walk away

A couple of things to keep in mind with leasing are yearly mileage restrictions and wear and tear fees. If you plan on driving more than 15,000 per year or think that your car may take damage, buying may be a better option.
