Benefits of Purchasing Your Subaru

When you purchase your vehicle, you gain complete control over your new Subaru. That means you can customize it to match your specific style, whether you add different exterior colors, accessories, or change the original equipment to something more to your liking. When you purchase, you are the owner. You are in complete control of the vehicle, allowing you to sell it later on or to customize it more to your liking. Unlike a lease, you also don't have a mileage limit.

Purchasing a car is great for drivers who have long commutes or enjoy leisurely drives. It's also the perfect choice for owners who want more control with their vehicle to customize as they see fit.

Benefits of Leasing Your Subaru

When you lease, the car is still owned by the dealership. While you aren't the owner, there are features that you can enjoy that owning a car might no provide. A lease typically requires a smaller down payment if one at all and helps out your monthly budget with smaller monthly payments. It's also covered under the manufacturer's warranty so when it comes time for maintenance - you won't need to pay out of pocket.
