So you’re at a point in your life where you need a vehicle. And you’re not sure if you should lease a new one or buy a used one… There are obviously pros and cons to both, but in the end it’s better to just get the used car and avoid leasing.

When you lease a vehicle, you are essentially paying someone to borrow that vehicle for a determined amount of time and then you give it back. While you possess the vehicle you feel compelled to take extra good care of it in order to avoid any extra charges or fees. And one of the biggest headaches of leasing? That would be mileage restrictions. If you go over “their limit,” then you can expect to pay hefty fees. Meanwhile, if you choose to break the lease earlier than expected, then you can expect to pay penalty fees. At the end of the day, you don’t own the vehicle! You have built no equity in it. You have to return it to the owner/dealership and you’re left without a vehicle. Ugh.

Now buying a used vehicle, at a place like 443 Auto Sales, is the better option than leasing. When you buy it (and pay off the loan if needed) it’s yours. You can choose to keep that vehicle for as long as you want– decades perhaps! Meanwhile, you aren’t restricted, mileage-wise. Drive it as far as you want– to Alaska and back if you so choose. Furthermore, when you own the vehicle, you can customize it as you wish. Modify it. Make changes. Paint it. Add stickers. Do what YOU want to do with it.
