Buying vs. Leasing with Woodhouse CDJR Sioux City

 

2020 RAM 1500

If you’re trying to decide on whether to buy vs. lease a car, we can help you at Woodhouse Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM Sioux City. Visit our Sioux City, IA Jeep dealership to weigh the pros and cons of both options and decide on the best approach for your budget.

When You Should Lease

Leasing a new RAM 1500 or Jeep Cherokee at our Iowa car dealership comes with several advantages.  Unlike when you buy a new vehicle, when you lease, you’re responsible only for the depreciation of the vehicle during your lease term rather than the full value (which depreciates the moment you drive off the lot).

Along with saving on depreciation, leasing can save you the time and costs involved with privately selling a vehicle. When you lease, you can quickly transition from one vehicle to another at the end of your lease term. That also means you can satisfy that new-car itch every few years with ease.

Plus, if you find that you don’t having a demanding driving schedule, leasing could be an even better fit, as you never have to worry about violating your mileage restrictions.

When You Should Buy

Buying a Jeep SUV or RAM pickup truck also presents several benefits. In fact, many benefits that come with buying aren’t available with leasing. For example, you can build equity with a vehicle purchase, which isn’t possible when you lease.

As an owner, you also have more freedom than if you were to lease. You can avoid any low-mileage restrictions, damage fees, or other strict guidelines that leases often come with. Instead, you can customize your model with accessories and parts upgrades and drive it as much as you please. While buying may involve a higher investment up front, it can also be more cost-effective over time.
