As a Grubbs Infiniti client, you have a wide range of financing options at your disposal, and Grubbs Infiniti specializes in helping you find the financing program that best suits your needs. Both leasing and traditional financing offer their own significant advantages — choosing which is right for you depends on your individual lifestyle and driving preferences.
When you lease a new or qualified pre-owned Infiniti, you'll enjoy:
Lower payments- Because you're only purchasing the right to use a vehicle for a period of time, your financial responsibility and your monthly payments may be reduced significantly.
Hazard-free driving- Because most leases last for 2-3 years, your vehicle generally provides warranty protection for as long as you drive it.*
True convenience- When a lease expires, you simply turn your vehicle in and pay off any remaining fees (such as for excess mileage), wear and tear, and taxes. If you'd rather not part with your Infiniti at lease-end, you can also take the opportunity to purchase it at a predetermined price. In either case, there's no need to take care of selling it or trading it in.
When you purchase a new or qualified pre-owned Infiniti, however, you'll enjoy:
Ownership equity- Once you've completed your payment schedule, you can drive your Infiniti for as long as you choose without any further payments.
Flexibility- Leasing requires that you specify in advance the number of miles you will drive each year. Owning your car means you can drive it as much as you like, as far as you like.
Freedom- Ownership gives you the ability to maintain and customize your vehicle however you see fit.
Complete the questionaire below to aid in decision making.
You're more likely to buy
When you lease a car, you are typically capped at 15,000 miles a year. Additional mileage can cost you up to 35 cents per mile. And that can really add up.
If you like to personalize a car, this investment can be lost on a leased car.
If you like the idea of ownership, you are less likely to be happy with the lease option.
If you like the feeling of accomplishment that paying off a large purchase brings and should consider that when you lease a car, the payment ends only when you return the car.
If the car you presently own is over 3 years old you are more likely a buyer. While not always true, you can usually drive for less if you're willing to buy and drive for at least 3 years.
If you don't mind doing your own car repairs, you probably don't mind driving a car after the warranty expires.
Lease arrangements usually involve a 15,000 miles-per-year cap and charge for extra miles. If you drive very little, you may be a candidate for a luxury lease.
When you negotiate a 24 or 36-month lease, you can be sure you'll always be driving a new vehicle.
Although you need to maintain and repair your leased vehicle just as you would an owned vehicle, because you typically lease for 2 to 3 years, the car is normally under warranty.
Many people prefer to drive a vehicle that is priced above their means and leasing provides the solution.
If you don't mind not owning the car, you are free to enjoy the benefits of leasing like low monthly payments and a low down payment.
If you own the company, and you use your car for business, check with your tax advisor. You may be able to deduct your auto expenses, including your monthly lease payment. And if the company you work for gives you a monthly car allowance, you may want to lease since you'll be able to drive a nicer car for a lower monthly payment.
