Has an Alfa Romeo lease caught your eye? There are plenty of myths about leasing, so we’re debunking a few of the misconceptions that we hear most at Helfman Alfa Romeo.
Myth: Leasing is Financially Irresponsible
Naturally, there’s something to say for someone who buys a vehicle and owns it forever. However, many drivers upgrade their vehicle regularly to have a newer model, as well as avoid the issues (and potentially large repair costs) of an older vehicle. If this is you, it’s actually smarter, financially, to lease instead.
Myth: Leasing Costs More in the Long Run
Again, buyers that end up owning their vehicle for years may end up spending less. However, since most people end up upgrading their vehicle (or needing costly repairs), it can be cheaper to lease, even in the long run.
Myth: You’ll Get Surprise Fees
Yes, it’s true that leases can have fees at the end. However, all fees associated with a lease are outlined in your original contract, so you can easily avoid them.
Myth: You’ll Pay for Every Dent and Scratch
If you return a lease with excessive wear and tear, you’ll owe fees when you return it. However, normal wear and tear is expected, so small things like dents or dings won’t typically count against you.
Myth: You Have Nothing to Show with a Lease
It’s true you don’t build up equity in a lease like you do when you buy a vehicle. However, you’ll have significant savings with a lease, which you could invest, save, or use to make another purchase, which certainly amounts to something.
