Welcome to Carlsen Subaru in Redwood City, CA! We understand that choosing whether to lease or finance your next car can be a difficult decision. That's why we've put together this guide to walk you through the key factors to consider when weighing your leasing versus financing options.
Our dealership serves customers from Redwood City, Stanford, Palo Alto, Atherton, and throughout the greater Bay Area. With many years in business, we have the expertise to help you make the most suitable decision for your budget and lifestyle.
Should You Finance a New Subaru Vehicle?
Financing through our dealership allows you to purchase and own your Subaru vehicle. Financing spreads the cost out over several years through a loan, with interest. At the end of your loan term, you own the vehicle free and clear.
Some benefits of financing your Subaru purchase include:
- You own the vehicle at the end of the loan term
- You can customize, modify, or sell the vehicle whenever you like
- Fixed monthly payments help you budget
- Interest rates are still relatively low
Before financing, be sure you can afford the monthly payments over several years. Our finance experts can help you find the optimal rate for your budget.
Should You Consider a New Subaru Lease?
Leasing allows you to essentially "rent" a brand-new car for a fixed period, usually two or three years. At the end of your lease, you return the vehicle instead of owning it.
Benefits of leasing a Subaru vehicle for your Stanford, CA adventures include:
- Lower monthly payments compared to financing
- You can drive a new vehicle every few years
- You won't need to find a buyer when you're ready to upgrade
The downside of leasing is mileage limits and wear-and-tear charges when you return the vehicle. Leasing works best for those who like driving new vehicles around Palo Alto frequently.
