Making a Tough Finance Decision

But sometimes, deciding your finance terms is always the toughest part of the deal. After you find the vehicle you want, you may need someone to finance your purchase. But what terms should you take? How many years? Will you have a down payment, and if so, how much are you willing to give? All these things will play a major factor in the monthly finance amount of your vehicle. Here are your options.

How Will You Finance Your Vehicle?

There are two financing options for you: buying or leasing. We're going to give you a little more insight on what's behind both choices so you can make a decision that best suits your situation in Butte County.

Leasing

If you're looking for a vehicle refresh every few years, or working with a smaller budget, then leasing might be the best choice for you. Since you won't pay the full depreciation of the vehicle, you'll have lower monthly payments. Additionally, the down payment will be less. You'll only pay the first month's payment plus the taxes, title, and registration fees in most cases. You can also expect to have lower repair costs since your new vehicle will still be under warranty.

So, if you want to drive a brand new car every few years and save a little more money in the process, leasing might be the best option for you.

Buying Your Vehicle

If you desire to sell your vehicle later down the line, buying is the most practical choice. When buying a vehicle, you can customize it the way you want. If you want to add a sunroof, a spoiler, or make any alteration to your vehicle, the decision is yours.

Also, by owning your vehicle outright, you don't have to worry about mileage restrictions or extra fees and penalties. You can drive with confidence that your vehicle is yours, and you can go where you need to when you need to, as much as you need to. It adds a little more freedom to your car driving experience in Oroville.
