Buying vs. Leasing a Car at Fitzgerald Volkswagen

The choice between buying or leasing depends on your budget, your customization preferences, and how much you plan to drive your VW! We've spelled out some of the top differences for you so that you can make a clear and informed choice and our team will gladly go into more detail with you.

Benefits of Buying

If you choose to buy your vehicle, there are plenty of benefits that come with that decision. Laurel, MD drivers especially looking to have their name on the title, will find more than a few advantages to ownership, including the equity you can put toward something new later on! Here are some benefits that come with buying:

  • Freedom to modify your vehicle
  • No mileage restrictions, a great benefit if you plan on driving your car often and long distances
  • No extra fees that might come with leasing

Benefits of Leasing

Leasing is an excellent option for Washington DC drivers looking to save. If you desire to switch up your vehicle at the end of the lease, this option allows that kind of freedom. Here are some benefits that come with leasing:

  • Lower down payment and lower monthly payments
  • Factory warranty coverage for the duration of the lease
  • Flexibility to drive a new car more often, since you can switch to the latest model once your lease is up, or try something new!
