You’re thinking about getting a new vehicle. Do you buy it outright? Finance? Lease? Several options are available to you, each with its own unique pros and cons. Leasing allows you to borrow a new vehicle for a set amount of time before trading it in or purchasing it outright if desired. It has several advantages over traditional financing and today, your local Chrysler dealership will discuss these leasing benefits.

1. Lower Cost of Ownership

One of the main advantages of leasing a new vehicle is its low total cost of ownership. Because you don’t own the vehicle, your monthly payments are significantly lower when compared to financing, as you are only paying for the depreciation of the vehicle rather than ownership costs. In addition to lower monthly payments, the upfront cost is typically lower as well, with low to no down payment for the vehicle.

2. Lower Risks

Unforeseen expenses are one of the most costly parts of owning a new vehicle, whether that’s in maintenance, damage repair, or add-ons. When leasing a new Chrysler, you are covered under the manufacturer’s limited warranty for 5 years. This means you can spend less time stressing and worrying about repair costs, and more time having fun in the latest models. Depending on your agreement, you may even have coverage for oil changes and other servicing.

3. Drive the Newest Vehicles 

While we’d all like to be driving the latest and greatest Chrysler vehicles, it’s usually our budgets that stop us. With leasing, its lower costs allow you to afford a nicer and more luxurious car, SUV, truck, or van than you could otherwise afford. This is ideal for those who get tired of their vehicle after a couple of years or simply don’t want to commit to one vehicle. You also get the advantage of driving the vehicle during its least troublesome years.

4. No Re-Sale Hassle

Selling or trading in your owned vehicle is a major hassle. With a lease, you simply return your car to the dealership and trade it in for another. There is no need to worry about changes in the vehicle’s trade-in or market value, nor dealing with the major hassle of trying to sell it privately.

5. Tax Benefits

Tax benefits are a major yet often overlooked benefit of leasing a vehicle. If you plan on using your Chrysler for business purposes, you may be eligible for significant tax deductions due to the ability to deduct depreciation costs.

With its substantial cost savings, simple process, lower risks, and potential for tax deductions, leasing provides an easy and effective way to get into your next Chrysler vehicle. To get started on your lease or find out more information, contact Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Redford, MI.
