Classic Kia De-Mystifyies the Lease

Jan 3, 2013

According to recent data, only one in every five new car transactions is a lease, and we here at Classic Kia think that has a lot to do with the fact that the average consumer doesn’t really fully understand how a lease works. Generally, people just want to own the thing they’re putting their hard-earned money towards and so count leasing out right from the get-go, but the truth is that you can get just as good a deal from your Kenosha Kia dealer for a leased vehicle as a purchased one. Sometimes, even better.

It all depends on what kind of driver you are. Are you someone who pays off your five-year loan in four years and then keeps the car for a few extra years without having to worry about monthly payments? Buy the car. It’s the better deal.

But if you find yourself getting impatient with your car only two or three years into that same loan, there will come a point when you look to trade up, and that will mean rolling over the rest of the old loan and having to worry about trade-in value, which drops exponentially after the first year. This is the kind of person who might want to consider leasing, and the good news is that you can negotiate the price and miles allotment with this just like you can in a new car purchase. Just talk to one of our dealers, ask lots of questions, and you may find that leasing really is the best option for you.
