If you've set your sights on a 2017 Subaru Forester near Washington, D.C. but aren’t sure whether you should lease or purchase, no worries – whichever direction you go, the fact that you’re buying an award-winning Subaru vehicle already makes you a winner. And as for the direction you decide on, that’s really up to you – but here’s some intel that might help you during the decision-making process.
While it’s true that automobiles depreciate, in the long run buying a car is still a better value than leasing a car over the same time period. Today’s vehicles are better-built and more reliable than ever, so once you pay off your car, you’ll not only be “driving for free”, but when you’re ready for a new vehicle you can expect a nice resale value. This is especially true with sought-after Subaru models like the Subaru Outback, Subaru Crosstrek, and a 2017 Subaru WRX near Bethesda, MD – all of which you can find at our welcoming, well-stocked Silver Spring, MD showroom.
Depending on the vehicle you want, you may be privy to a number of options packages and a deep parts aftermarket. Buying the vehicle means you can tap into these opportunities and customize your wheels to your heart’s content. But when you lease, the vehicle almost always comes with a “no modifications” restriction.
On the flipside, leasing is a great option for buyers who like the idea of driving several different vehicles over the course of several years. It’s fun to be able to lease a sedan for a couple of years, turn it in with no hassle and no strings attached, and then lease a totally different vehicle. Leasing also means a lower down payment and lower monthly payments than a purchase.
Whatever you decide, we’ll support you 100 percent!
