Weighing the Buy Versus Lease Decision? Tony Divino Toyota Can Help

Choosing how you will finance your next vehicle here at Tony Divino Toyota in Riverdale, Utah may feel difficult to some, with so many different angles to consider for the buy versus lease decision. We are here to help simplify that process by discussing some of the benefits of both financing options, and ready to review your specific budget and what you are looking for out of your next payment plan.

Purchasing a vehicle means that you own it outright, with no limitations or rules to follow. Mileage is fine to build up as you wish, you can customize your vehicle how you like and you won't have to be extra mindful of normal wear and tear. You have equity in the vehicle, and you can choose to sell your car at any time and move on to a new Toyota model here at our dealership near Ogden, UT.

The Lease Advantage

Choosing to lease a vehicle means that you are signed onto an agreement for a multi-year term. This makes for greater flexibility, allowing you to move on after those years are up to a vehicle with modern features and improved capabilities. Payments tend to be less expensive generally with this option, and you still get to enjoy the customary perks of new vehicle ownership.
