Financing

Pros of buying

  • You own the vehicle
  • You get to drive as many kilometers as you want each year
  • When you’ve paid off finance, you’re free of loan payments and you can build equity in the vehicle
  • You are free to add accessories, such as a cargo carrier, window deflectors, or running boards.

Cons of buying

  • Your car will depreciate over time
  • You pay for repairs when the warranty expires
  • As your car gets older, the repair costs can be high
  • You need to sell or trade-in when it is time to sell or trade it in
Leasing

Pros of leasing

  • Sometimes leasing can mean lower payments than financing
  • You'll be driving a new car every two or three years and experience all the latest features
  • If you want to move or travelling at the end of a lease you won’t have a car to sell
  • You don't own a vehicle that depreciates over time.

Cons of leasing

  • Keep the vehicle maintained and in good condition to avoid extra changes at the end of the lease
  • A limit on the annual number of kilometers you can drive
  • If you always lease, monthly payments never end
  • If you can’t afford to keep the vehicle, you could face expensive penalties.
