Is Buying or Leasing a Kia Best for Me?

If a new Kia model catches your eye, there are two options for taking it home: buying or leasing. Buying a vehicle can be done by purchasing in full or by financing, – applying for a loan and paying it off each month. Once the loan is fully settled, the car is fully yours to customize and drive for as long as you’d like. There are no mileage limits at any point of owning the car, and any maintenance or repairs are the responsibility of the owner. Purchasing is ideal for drivers who intend to use their car for many years to come, or who drive a high number of miles per year.

However, there are many circumstances where a lease makes more sense for the driver. If you need a vehicle for your current situation but know you are planning to move in two or three years to a location where a car isn’t necessary, a lease may be a better fit. Or maybe you are interested in driving the latest models throughout Conshohocken and the surrounding area. Most lease terms are for 24 to 36 months, so you can always be sure of driving a vehicle with the newest technology and safety features. Once the lease has concluded, you can trade the car in for another lease of the latest Kia model. Plus, the dealership will perform complimentary basic maintenance for the vehicle over this time. Of course, if you find you love the vehicle you leased, you also have the option to purchase the car with continued monthly payments at the end of the contract.

Getting Help Financing your New or Pre-Owned Kia

If you decide to finance your next vehicle, there are many factors that will affect your monthly loan payment, your interest rate, and your total loan amount. Our highly knowledgeable auto finance team at Raceway Kia of Conshohocken will be able to go over each detail of the loan so you know exactly how everything is calculated. Some of the main factors that influence your loan include the price and current mileage of the vehicle you have picked out, as well as your credit history and down payment. If you have an excellent credit report with no missed payments, you may be eligible for a loan with a low interest rate. If your credit needs some help – or you’re still building it up – you may have a higher interest rate, but we will work to keep your payments within your monthly budget. In order to see an estimate of what your monthly bill might look like, Raceway Kia offers an online payment calculator that takes the car price, interest rate, loan length, down payment, and trade-in value into consideration.
