Learn About Car Buying Vs Leasing and Find the Best Option for You

At SouthShore Nissan a lot of people ask us what the difference is between buying a vehicle, or leasing one. Well, it boils down to a timeframe, really. When you buy, you're looking to pay your vehicle off for a period of time, and once you do, you don't have a car payment. With a lease, you pay a monthly payment over a set time, and have the option to return it, get a new one, or buy it after.

You might be wondering what else you get when you buy or lease a Nissan, and we're here to give you the advantages to both.

Buying a Nissan

  • When you buy, you pay monthly payments until it is paid off, and the vehicle is yours, without a car payment
  • You can drive as many miles as you want, travel with the family, pets, many get a dent or two, drive on rough roads without worrying about additional wear-and-use charges (though you should still get regular Nissan service!)
  • You can carry lower insurance limits than you might be able to with a lease (depends on your insurer)
  • You're able to sell, trade, or transfer the title whenever you want

Leasing a Nissan

  • With a lease you pay the monthly payment, insurance, a security deposit, and other charges when you start, then continue with the monthly payment over the course of the lease
  • You can get a bigger, better-equipped vehicle than you would purchasing at the same amount for a monthly payment
  • You pay only a portion of the vehicle's life, which means lower monthly payments
  • You get lots of options at the end of the lease; you can buy it, lease another one, or explore other options
  • You do have wear-and-use guidelines and mileage restrictions, so you do have to be mindful of that
