Buying vs. Leasing Through Honda Finance

Shoppers have three options for paying for a new car: cash, auto loans, and leases. Car finance options will divide the car price into monthly payments with rates and terms based on your credit history.

Many Honda drivers choose leases because of the benefits and low monthly payments. Honda leases with Honda Financial Services are factored by deducting the residual value from the sticker price and then dividing the remaining value into 24 or 36 months of payments. Most lease terms involve mileage limits and wear-and-tear rules because they factor into the residual value. At the close of the lease, drivers can return the vehicle or purchase it. Many drivers enjoy leases because they can get new cars every two or three years, and all leased vehicles have new car warranties.

We also offer traditional car loans, often with long terms and low-interest rates. A typical car loan includes the purchase price minus your down payment. Auto financing removes the mileage limits, and many drivers choose longer loan terms to reduce monthly payments to affordable levels. With an auto loan, you can customize your vehicle. You can sell or trade the car at any time, as auto loans have more flexibility than car leases.

Convenient Online Financing Services

Honda of Sarasota can provide financing assistance in person, and we offer several convenient online services. Before you begin shopping for a new car, we recommend checking out our auto loan calculator to learn what Honda prices fit your budget.

Our convenient online pre-approval process quickly checks your credit score to determine how much you can borrow for your new car. Completing the pre-approval application online speeds up the financing process. Since we use clear vehicle pricing, it’s easy to choose a vehicle with a price you can afford.
