Buy vs Lease near North Little Rock, AR
Having to choose between leasing or financing your next car is a decision that can stump many. Both paths come with their own pros and cons, and having to discern which option is best for you can be quite difficult. Our team at BMW of Little Rock would like to assist with this!
Leasing
Leasing has become an increasingly popular option for those in the North Little Rock area, and for good reason. Rather than owning your model, this agreement has you essentially renting it for an average duration of three years. During this period, you will be affording the average depreciation rate of the car, the payments of which are typically less than outright buying a car. This contract will come with a mileage limit, although the terms of this can be extended by speaking with our team. This type of deal usually requires less time and financial commitment out of you, which may be appealing if you fall within a certain demographic.
Financing
If you’re looking to purchase a vehicle, then our Finance Department is where you’ll want to be. There, our team will inform you of what exactly goes into this contract. This includes the fact that you will be making monthly installments for the total sticker price for the model of your choice over the course of four to seven years. This makes it a much larger commitment than leasing but comes with the added boon that you will one day own the car. That way, you are able to make adjustments to its appearance without consequences, something you cannot do on a leased vehicle. You can also one day pilot it across I-40 without having to make any further payments.
What’s Best For You?
Choosing which plan best works for you comes down to your individual circumstances as a driver. For example, take your budget into consideration. Do you see yourself able to make the larger payments that financing agreements typically ask for? You should also note what kind of driver you are, as pilots who make many trips to Idlewild Park may find themselves leaning toward a purchasing contract due to the lack of a mileage limit. You may also want to take the average durations of these deals into account, as those who plan on moving out of the area may find themselves changing their mind. Call our team today if you have any further questions!

- Paying for total sticker price
