Buying vs Leasing: Which Is the Right Choice for Me?

Ford Explorer Lease Deals

When you’re deciding whether to buy or lease your Ford Explorer, you may wonder which is right for your budget and lifestyle.

If you’re interested in trying a new car every few years, then you may want to go with a lease. They typically last between one to three years, then you’ll have the opportunity to decide on a new vehicle to drive around. Leasing is also great for drivers who don’t want to deal with depreciation repairs. You’ll just need to bring your vehicle back to our service center for a few yearly appointments, like inspections and oil changes.

If you plan on taking long road trips and decking out your car with all types of features, then you’ll probably want to buy your Explorer. When you buy your vehicle, you don’t have to deal with yearly mileage allowances.
