Financing

Pros of buying

  • You own your Lincoln
  • Travel for as many kilometers as you want each year
  • When you’ve paid off your laon, you’re free of payments and you build equity in your vehicle
  • Add accessories, such as a roof rack, cargo carrier, or running boards.

Cons of buying

  • The vehicle will depreciate over time
  • You'll need to pay for repairs when the warranty expires
  • As your car gets older, the repair costs may be higher
  • When it’s time to get a new car, you need to sell or trade it in
Leasing

Pros of leasing

  • Monthly payments may be lower than financing
  • Get to drive a new car every two or three years and experience the latest features
  • If you intend to move or travel further afield in the next few years, then you won’t have a car to sell
  • You won't have a vehicle that depreciates over time.

Cons of leasing

  • Keep the vehicle maintained and in good condition to avoid extra changes at the end of the lease
  • A limit on the annual number of kilometers you can drive
  • If you always lease, monthly payments never end
  • You will likely face penalties if you can’t afford to make the lease payments
