If you’re thinking about getting a new Toyota, you have two main options: buy or lease. Buying the car – either with a single up-front payment or with a car loan that’s paid off in monthly increments – means you own it outright. Leasing means you’re renting the car and must return it after a pre-arranged period, which is usually two or three years. Both options have pros and cons to consider.

Comparing Buying vs. Leasing a Toyota

The Advantages of Buying Your Toyota

When you buy a new car, you have full ownership of it. If you purchase it with a car loan, you’ll eventually pay off the final monthly payment, whereupon the lender will send you a Lien Release stating that the car belongs to you entirely and cannot be repossessed. 

Many drivers take a great deal of pleasure and pride in owning their own vehicle. You may well become attached to your car and you never have to return it to the dealership, as you would with a lease.
