LEASING VS. FINANCING A RANGE ROVER, DEFENDER OR DISCOVERY

Q: WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO PUT DOWN?

A: Leasing a Range Rover, Defender or Discovery is a great way to access a more luxurious vehicle for less, as this option requires a lower down payment, if at all. Additionally, monthly leasing payments are generally lower than monthly car loan payments.

Q: I PLAN ON DRIVING MY CAR FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS – SHOULD I LEASE OR FINANCE?

A: If you drive your vehicle until it’s ready to retire, you’ll want to finance your Range Rover, Defender or Discovery. Eventually, you will reach the point where you will own your luxury SUV and will no longer have to make payments. When that happens, you have numerous options of what you can do with it, including selling, trading or continue driving it until you’re ready to find a new one.

Q: IF I WANT THE LATEST ADVANCED TECH AND FEATURES, SHOULD I BUY OR LEASE?

A: Those who are constantly searching for the best technology available would likely favor a new Range Rover, Defender or Discovery. This way, you can play with the latest gadgets and infotainment without worrying about your vehicle becoming outdated. Since leases typically last three years or less, you’ll be able to regularly access the newest features.

Q: CAN I CUSTOMIZE MY CAR WHEN I LEASE?

A: When you lease a brand new vehicle, you won’t be able to customize it because it belongs to the dealership. However, financing gives you the freedom to make any changes as you wish, so if you plan on detailing or accessorizing your ride, buying is the better option.

Q: WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS?

A: If you don’t want the trouble of dealing with car maintenance, leasing is a great option. Aside from getting regular oil changes, you won’t need to worry about most repairs because your vehicle will be under warranty during the lease period – the certified technicians at our Freeport service center do what it takes to maximize your time behind the wheel.

Q: IF I DRIVE A LOT, SHOULD I BUY OR LEASE MY NEXT CAR?

A: If you log a lot of miles, you’ll want to finance a Range Rover, Defender or Discovery. Lease contracts typically have mileage limits that could end up being a hassle if you’re always on the go. If you want your driving situation to accommodate your everyday commute, occasional road trip and weekend adventure, you should consider financing instead of leasing.
