Leasing versus Buying a car at Apple Auto Group

Apple Auto Group: Leasing versus Buying a car

 Leasing vs. Buying a Car

To buy or to lease? That is the question going through many car shoppers’ minds. It is a difficult decision and to make sure you are happy with your choice, you need to know all the important facts. Here we are going to outline some benefits of both and tell you what the credible sources out there are saying.

So to start, lets look at the benefits of leasing a vehicle. One of the biggest benefits is the option to drive a new car every two or three years at a lower monthly payment than the purchase alternative. This sounds like a dream come true to many car shoppers who are having a hard time choosing a car, but we also need to pay attention to the biggest part of the commitment; the cost. On Cars.com, they talked to an expert.

“Lower payments and full factory warranty aren't the only reasons to lease — leasing also offers purchasing flexibility, according to Michael Kranitz, creator of LeaseWizard.com software and author of "Look Before You Lease: Secrets to Smart Vehicle Leasing." Leasing allows consumers to defer the purchasing decision while they're using the car. "In the meantime, I have a three-year test drive," Kranitz says.” 

SmartMoney.com also agreed about there being many advantages when talking about low down payments, low monthly payments, and easy turnover. The average consumer purchases a new vehicle every three years and most consumers opt for a five or six year loan commitment with a purchase option.  In this scenario, the average consumer would owe more on the vehicle they purchased than the current market value along with a factory warranty that has expired due to mileage or time of ownership. 

Overall, the important things to think about are all about lifestyle. How often do you purchase a new car? How many miles per year do you drive? Does full factory warranty give you peace of mind?

Now let’s look at the advantages of buying. Lifestyle is also very important in this case. Purchasing is a great option if you plan to keep your vehicle for 6, 8, 10 years or are considering doing any customization to your vehicle. If you plan to own a vehicle for many years and want to enjoy no monthly payments after loan commitments are met, purchasing a vehicle is a great option. Also, purchasing is the best option if you only drive 3-5,000 miles per year as a lease has a minimum yearly mileage of 10,500 miles. 

Pros of Leasing -Lower monthly payments -Full Factory Warranty -New Vehicle every 2-3 years -Little or no down payment

Pros of Buying -Equity after loan commitment is met -No monthly payment after loan commitment is met -No mileage restrictions each year -Customization is enjoyed and can add value.

2013 Ford Escape Crossover

2013 Ford Escape Sport Utility Crossover

  

Completely redesigned for 2013, the Ford Escape is a compact crossover that is available with three different engines: 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine (168 hp/170 lb-ft of torque), 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (178 hp/173 lb-ft of torque), and 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (240 hp/231 lb-ft of torque). Standard FWD and optional 4WD are both paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission that enables the Escape to achieve an EPA estimated range of 21 mpg city to 33 mpg highway. Features include heated leather seats, panoramic sunroof, navigation system, power lift gate, SYNC, and a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. Safety is comprised of advanced airbags, stability control, anti-lock braking, anti-rollover technology, and tire pressure monitoring. The Escape is backed by a 3-year/36,00-mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2013 Ford Escape Sport Utility Crossover

The Escape starts at just under $23,000 and competes in the very competitive small SUV market. Ford has chosen to concentrate on fuel economy, versatility and new technology with their new SUV. Small but efficient turbocharged 4-cylinder engines and clever options like parallel parking assist spearhead the effort to set the compact Ford apart from its competitors. A modern, distinct and aerodynamic design also distinguishes the Ford from other small SUV's on the road.

What's new for 2013?

The 2013 Ford Escape is a brand-new vehicle. Gone are the truck-like proportions and feel; now replaced by a modern functional and compact design hailing the new Escape as a truly global vehicle. Though still considered a small SUV, a much greater emphasis has been put on efficiency and clever design features than on previous models. The Escape is available with three engine choices and comes standard with front wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available with the more powerful engines.

Model Strengths

Ford has four distinct trim models for the 2013 Escape. S, SE, SEL and Titanium. The S is the base version and comes standard with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is an option for the rest of the trim levels and adds about $1800 to the price of the vehicle. SE versions get a voice activated version of Ford's SYNC entertainment and communication system allowing for hands free activation of Bluetooth enabled phones and USB connected MP3 players. SEL trims include a brand new version of MyFord touch, enabling touchscreen controls on a dashboard mounted 8-inch LCD screen. Leather seats are standard on the SEL version and the front seats are heated. Top of the line Titanium edition Escapes get a premium interior, 19-inch rims and a 10 speaker audio system by Sony.
