Buy vs Lease near Edgewater, FL
Those in the market to obtain a new vehicle have likely come across the crossroads that is choosing to purchase or lease. While the end result may seem similar, the way in which these two avenues are expressed greatly differs. That’s why we here at New Smyrna Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram would like to further explain both to you.
Leasing
To start off, it would be best to start off with leasing. That is because this kind of contract has become increasingly popular within recent years, and for good reason. These plans typically last for two to four years, which is significantly less time when compared with its counterpart. And rather than affording monthly installments of the total sticker price, you are only paying for its average rate of depreciation. This makes it a more cost-effective plan within the short term. Once the contract comes to a close, you will have the option to choose between purchasing the vehicle, leasing a new one, or simply walking away if you no longer require a model to drive around the Edgewater area.
Purchasing
If you would like to one day own the vehicle you are piloting along I-95, then you will likely want to spring for a purchasing plan. This can be done with the help of our Finance Department, who will provide a loan to you that you will pay off over the course of four to seven years. While this may be harsher on your wallet than a leasing contract, you will one day be free of monthly payments once this timeline has come to an end. At this point, the car will be under your complete possession and you will be able to make any alterations you please.
Which Is Best For You?
There are many factors to consider when it comes to which plan best serves you. For example, leasing agreements come with mileage limits which can restrict how much you drive this model. If you plan on making many trips to Wilbur Beach, then a financing contract may serve you better. On the other hand, for those who may eventually move out of the area, a lease may prove to be superior as you won’t be bound to it and you can eventually drop it once you make your move away. And of course, you should always consider your own finances when choosing between these two deals. If you would like further information, please feel free to direct any of your questions toward our helpful staff!

- Lasts two to four years

Can not speak enough praises for this dealer
“ Can not speak enough praises for this dealer. Recently moved from out of state and felt like I would never find a dealer I could feel comfortable with again. I was wrong. From the second I pulled in with my car. I felt welcomed and safe. Didn't feel like I was gonna be taken advantage of because I was a women. Felt like they were treating me like I was their own sister or daughter. This will be the only place I bring my car from now on. ”

I want to commend the Service staff here for their excellent customer service.
“ I want to commend the Service staff here for their excellent customer service. My service contact was Scott K, and he was so pleasant and helpful, knows a lot about cars! great on communications. I'm confident he really looked out for me and my PT Cruiser repair. I also want to praise the service technicians: I overheard one talking to Scott about a repair issue (not mine). He had questions about a customer's extended warranty coverage, which he felt could possible apply to the repair. How's that for caring about the customer? I also met another technician when I picked up my car. So friendly and personable. Really, the employees here are exceptional. I will not hesitate to come back for regular maintenance from now on. Thank you New Smyrna CJDRam! ”
