Should You Lease Your Subaru?

Is leasing a car right for you? This question is hard to answer. It really depends on your lifestyle and your preferences. Certain lifestyles may work better with leasing than others. For instance, if you entertain business clients, leasing allows you to drive a luxury vehicle for less money (and there may be a tax write-off for certain professions). Other people just like to drive a brand-new car every two or three years. So ultimately, leasing isn't only a dollars-and-cents question - it's about personal tastes and priorities.

In a nutshell, leasing makes it easier to get more car for less money. You are essentially paying for a portion of the car, instead of buying the entire vehicle. Don't forget about the value of GAP insurance when you lease, it is included in most lease contracts and can be a wise investment when you purchase too.  It is ultimately up to the smart car buyer to weigh the pros and cons, determine what their needs are, and what best suits their lifestyle.

Leasing is a good choice if you don't drive far outside of Troutdale often.

Leasing is a great "right-now" idea when you need an affordable daily driver that can go from your work commute to your weekend day trip around Sandy. Lease terms typically span two to three years. At the end of the lease period, you can:

  • Purchase your Subaru vehicle
  • Lease another Subaru model
  • Return your Subaru car, no strings attached

During the lease period, a Subaru model's convenience, economy, and dependability can't be overstated. In addition, we offer several rotating lease deals to help you get behind the wheel at a competitive rate.

Why Driving a Subaru Vehicle Around Oregon City is Exceptional

Lease vehicles are always new models. Fresh out of the factory, they perform, look, and have the fragrance of a brand-new car. They come with cutting-edge new components inside and out, offering the latest in performance, amenities, safety, and technology features.

Leasing yet another Subaru car at the end of your lease period means you get to drive a brand new Subaru vehicle lease roughly every three years. Monthly payments for a Subaru lease are usually lower than when you finance. You can grab an excellent deal when you combine the lower monthly payments with a leasing deal. This gives you the advantage of driving a higher trim and a more expensive model than you might otherwise be able to afford. Our dealership runs Subaru lease deals year-round, so stop by soon.
