We tackle the Ultimate question…
Considering a lease or purchase is probably one of the most common questions considered when shopping for transportation. What’s the correct answer? It depends. What the best route might be depends on the specifics and the individual, and it is simply not possible to say one is better than the other in all cases. Let’s distinguish the two. With a “purchase”, you are financing the purchase of the vehicle. At the end of your term, the car is yours. With a “lease”, you are financing the use of the vehicle, and only pay for the value of the vehicle you use during the lease. You are paying for the ability to drive the car for a certain amount of time, and then returning it, hassle-free. There are a lot of details, including your personal priorities, to consider when determining which plan is right for you. Is having a new vehicle every 2 or 3 years important to you? Are lower monthly payments more important than long-term costs? If so, a lease might be better for you. Is it important to pay off your vehicle and be debt-free at some point? Than a purchase might be your answer. Generally, with most other brands, maintenance would be another factor to consider, but BMW’s generous Ultimate Service program, their extensive maintenance plan, takes maintenance out of the equation.
