Lease A Car


Leasing your next car or truck with Ford Motor Credit can be a great opportunity. If you can't make up your mind between leasing and financing, let our Ford dealer in West Bend help you. We'll learn about the differences between leasing and buying a vehicle. With information to empower you, you can make the right decision for your lifestyle. 


Is it better to lease or finance a car?


That depends on your goals. Leasing a Ford truck offers many advantages. But if your goal is to build equity in your vehicle, a lease won't be the right choice. Customers who want to drive brand new trucks every few years will love the flexibility of a Ford lease. If you enjoy modifying your vehicle, leasing might not be a good fit. 


The team at our West Bend car dealer will be happy to review your priorities. We can take a look at your budget and needs to suggest whether leasing is a viable option for your situation. 


What are the pros and cons of leasing a car?


Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of both leasing and buying a vehicle with Ford Motor Credit. Our Ford dealership near you will ensure that you have a smooth transaction, whether you lease or finance!


Leasing

Buying

Upgrade Vehicle

You’ll be able to upgrade to a new car at the end of every lease term. You won’t have to resell or trade your last vehicle.

When you want a new vehicle, you’ll need to figure out what to do with your current car. 

Monthly Payments

Monthly payments on a lease are usually less expensive than payments on an auto loan.

Monthly car loan payments are typically more expensive than lease payments.

Maintenance and repair

Leased vehicles stay under warranty for the extent of their lease term.

Once your warranty expires, all maintenance and repair costs will be out of pocket.

Equity

Lease payments do not build equity in the vehicle.

Loan payments build equity in the vehicle.

Mileage limit

Lease agreements include an annual mileage limit. If you exceed this limit, you will pay per excessive mile.

There are no mileage limits when you buy a car.

Modifications

You will need to return your lease in the original condition. If you modify your car, you’ll need to restore it before your lease ends.

Once the vehicle is yours, you are free to modify it however you like.




How long can you lease a car?


Typically, a Ford Motor Credit lease term will be 24 or 36 months. There are situations where you might be able to negotiate a longer or shorter lease. 


The longer your lease term, the lower your monthly payments will be. When you lease with Ford Motor Credit, you'll be offered a buyout option at the end of your lease term. Are lower monthly payments worth a longer lease term? Some customers prefer to keep their costs as low as possible. If you prefer the savings to getting a new car in two years, a longer lease term could be a great choice. If you'd rather upgrade to something new and exciting faster, the payment savings might not be worth it.


What happens when your car lease is up?


At the end of your Ford Motor Credit lease, you'll have three options. Our Ford dealership near you can help you make the best decision for your situation.


  • Lease or buy a new vehicle from our Ford dealer in West Bend.

  • Purchase your leased car for the price in your leasing agreement.

  • Return your lease and tie up any lease-end obligations.


Can I lease a Ford F-150?


Yes, you can lease an F-150 from our Ford dealer in West Bend. Ford trucks are among the most popular vehicles to lease. Let's cover some benefits of leasing your next truck.


  • You'll save on monthly payments.

  • If you don't drive the truck longer than three years, you'll save on costs overall.

  • You'll stay under warranty for the duration of your Ford Motor Credit lease. You won't need to worry about covering repairs for mechanical failure.
