Buy vs Lease

Once you've found that vehicle you want in our new Honda inventory at Superior Honda, the only thing left to decide is your options for financing. Is it better for you to buy your vehicle with an auto loan, or lease the vehicle instead? Which option is best for you? How does each option even work?


These are all questions that we're more happy to help with! The truth is there are a lot of differences between the two options, but with the help of our exceptional finance professionals, we'll take a look at your specific wants and needs to help you find the optiomal choice for your situation.

So how exactly can you make the distinction? Let's take a look and see.

Through this option, we'll work with you to negotiate a monthly payment through official Honda financing or another established financial institution at the dealership. After calulating your credit options and determining a downpayment, we'll be able to calculate a monthly payment that works for you. Other expenses will include insurance, taxes, and a deposit on the first monthly payment.

  • Each month you make a payment towards your loan, and once you make the last payment, you'll officially own your Honda!
  • There are no milage restrictions when buying your vehicle through an auto loan, making it a great option for those who plan to travel a lot.
  • Through the use of warranties on your vehicle, our Honda service center will be able to keep your car in top shape through routine visits. This way, you won't be charged fees on any wear and tear guidelines that may come along with a lease.

Through this option, you'll be paying a portion of the vehicle's value over time on a lease. Leasing typically comes with terms and conditions, but there are usually plenty of options available once your lease is up. To get started on a lease, you pay the first payment, insurance, a security deposit, and government or lessor charges, and will make routine payments throughout the lease term.

  • Each month, you pay a monthly payment that goes towards paying off the lease agreement terms.
  • A lease can often come with mileage restrictions, which you agree to at the time of signing. Going over this milage limit results in additional charged fees.
  • In the event your vehicle has wear and tear not covered by us, you can also be charged for this as well. Visiting our service center regularly can help prevent this where possible.
  • The main thing a lease offers is flexibility. At the end of your lease term you can either purchase the vehicle at it's residual value, you can enter into a new lease, or simply choose not to renew. If you prefer to upgrade your ride every few years and like having consistent access to the latest models, leasing is a great way to give you an affordable payment plan.
