Unfortunately, this question you will need to ask and answer several times. Even after the pros and cons, every financial option and business demands have been weighed, there is always that little voice of doubt- “Did I make the right choice?” The answer is never clear cut and depending on your company’s needs, both options have their advantages. Leasing a new vehicle has its appeal, but is more restrictive and ultimately more expensive than buying and keeping it for a while.
Leasing Pros:
- Lease payments are lower than loan payments
- Get a new car every few years
- Latest safety equipment, technology and warranty
- No hassles at the end of a lease
- Hand over keys if all requirements were met
- Additional financial incentives
- Can be claimed as a tax deduction
Leasing Cons:
- You don’t own the vehicle
- Must be maintained in excellent condition and no modifying
- Penalties for wear, tear, and mileage
- Plan to pay for excessive mileage or poor condition
- Depreciation fees at end of lease
- Endless payments
- Could end up paying more in the long run
