One of the oldest decisions to be made when car shopping is whether you're going to lease your favorite model or buy it outright. The buying vs. leasing debate continues to be a sticking point for many folks around Midland, San Angelo, and Odessa, TX. Is there a right answer? It really comes down to what you want from your car ownership experience.

Leasing is certainly the more flexible of the two options and therefore gives you greater versatility now and in the future. If you want to buy, though, our Mercedes-Benz of Midland team can help with that, too!


About Buying

If you're simply head over heels in love with a model and can't wait to look at it in your driveway each day, then buying makes sense. If you buy the vehicle and take care of it over the long-term with routine care and maintenance, you should expect well over 100,000 miles of reliability.

Another perk of buying a model is that you can customize any aspect of it that you want. Because you're essentially renting a model when you lease it, you don't have the same freedom to install after-market parts. So, if customization is an important trait for you, consider buying your next car.

Finally, buying is often the right choice for families who will eventually be passing the model down to their children. Buying the car means you can test it out yourself for many years before giving your children a reliable vehicle for their first model.


About Leasing

So, what is it about leasing that draws in folks over buying? It's the versatility. Here are just a few things you can do with your leased vehicle:

  • You can end the lease outright at any time
  • You can trade in the lease early and begin leasing a new vehicle
  • You can buy the model at the end of the lease
  • You can allow the lease to run out, then lease a new model or the newest version of the same model

Leasing is about providing options. So, if you lease a car for a few years and the lease ends, you bring the model back to us and are free to lease whatever you want. If you want to lease the latest model year of the same vehicle, you can. If you want to lease a completely different vehicle, you can.

You can also buy the car at the end of the lease. If you go this route, any payments you've made into the car at that point will be factored into the new payment structure.
