Lease vs Buy: Frequently Asked Questions at Montgomeryville Acura
Helping you choose the smartest way to drive a new Acura
Should I lease or buy my next Acura?
It depends on your lifestyle and goals. Leasing is often better if you want lower monthly payments, always drive a new vehicle, and stay within annual mileage limits. Buying is usually smarter if you drive a lot of miles, want to build equity, or plan to keep the vehicle long-term. Browse our new inventory or used inventory to explore options.
What are the main advantages of leasing an Acura?
Leasing typically offers lower monthly payments, a smaller down payment, and the ability to drive the latest Acura models every 2–4 years. You also stay under factory warranty for the entire lease term and can easily upgrade to newer technology and features. View current lease specials.
What are the benefits of buying instead of leasing?
When you buy, you build equity in the vehicle, have no mileage restrictions, and can keep it as long as you want. There are no end-of-lease decisions or potential fees, and you have more freedom to customize the vehicle. Financing options are available for both new and used Acuras.
How does annual mileage affect my decision?
If you drive under 10,000–15,000 miles per year, leasing is often more cost-effective. If you drive significantly more, buying usually saves money by avoiding excess mileage fees at the end of a lease.
Can I purchase the vehicle at the end of my lease?
Yes. Most Acura leases include a purchase option at a predetermined residual value. Our finance team at Montgomeryville Acura can review this option with you at any time. Contact us to discuss your lease-end options.
Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a lease or purchase?
Yes. Your trade-in value can be applied toward a lease down payment or to reduce the amount financed on a purchase. Start with our online trade-in tool for a quick estimate.
