 
BUYING VS. LEASE
Should I Buy or Lease My Car From Coggin Ford?
Have you heard the term leasing and not know what it meant or which option was better? Well our finance team here have put together some helpful information about the two. So come see what the team here at Coggin Ford have to offer and let us help you find the best option for you and your family.
WHY BUY?
Ownership. At the end of your loan, you own your car with no payments. You can love your Ford for as long as you want and it's all yours.
No Limits. Drive an unlimited amount of miles with no penalty - if you typically drive your car more than 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year this option is preferable.
Personalize. If you like to customize, modify, or repaint, then buying a Ford is probably your best choice.
True Love. Do you get emotionally attached to your vehicles? (Come on, we know some of you do.) You may prefer to purchase to avoid the separation anxiety.
Asset Retention. When you buy, you retain the benefit of trade-in or resale value. However, since a car is a depreciating asset, you may find yourself a bit upside if you choose to trade unless your loan has been fully paid off by that point.
WHY LEASE?
Lower monthly payment! Monthly lease payments are typically lower than monthly loan payments from fiancing because lessees only pay for the use of the car, not the entire vehicle. Many times you can lease a Ford with little or no money down, so there is less out of pocket expense at the onset.
Upgrade your car more often! If you are one of those individuals who likes to upgrade your phone every time a new one is released, then leasing might be for you since you can essentially do the same thing, just with your car. Having the latest technology or safety (or styles or trends) may be important to you - if so, a lease on a vehicle might be for you.
Have more options! When you lease, you have options available at lease-end. You can choose to lease another  Ford , or purchase the one you have grown to love at a much lower, no hassle pre-determined price. Or, you can turn it in and walk away. Without the hassle of selling or trading in your old car (many times for less than you owe), you can enjoy a simple process that allows you to drive a new vehicle every few years.
Little to zero vehicle maintenance! Many people lease for the length of time the manufacturer's warranty is in effect. This way, if any repairs are needed they are typically covered by the warranty.
