Learn More About Ford Finance Options in Fergus Falls

Have you considered the difference between leasing and buying a new vehicle? At Nelson Auto Center, we find that many of our customers come to us from Wahpeton and Detroit Lakes with questions about the benefits of each. Knowing the basics of buying versus leasing can help you to make a more informed decision about your new or used Ford financing needs. Read on for an overview.

Leasing

Let's start with the financing option that many people know the least about leasing. When leasing a brand-new vehicle, you pay to drive it for a period of about three or four years. Then, you return it. While you won't own the car, several benefits come with leasing. Your payments will be lower since you're essentially just paying for the initial depreciation of the vehicle. You'll be getting a brand-new model, so it's not likely you'll face many repairs or maintenance costs, either. There's no hassle involved when deciding whether to sell or trade-in the car at the end of the lease period. Just bring it back to the dealership.

Buying

Buying a car can cost more over time, but you will likely be able to own and drive it for a while with no payments. Plus, making that last payment and knowing the vehicle is yours can be an incredibly satisfying feeling. When you're making payments to own your vehicle, you can modify it and add customizations. You're also free to drive it as many miles as you wish with no limits, unlike with a lease.
