Frequently asked questions
Is leasing cheaper than buying?
Leasing usually has lower monthly payments but you don't build equity. Compare the lease payment here with a loan from the Auto Loan Calculator.
What term is best for a lease?
Most leases run 24–48 months. Staying within the vehicle's warranty period (often 36 months) avoids out-of-pocket repairs.
