​Have you had your eye on a new MINI model like the MINI Cooper or MINI Countryman? One of the first questions you need to answer is whether you should purchase and finance or lease a new MINI. Are there advantages of leasing over buying a MINI? How does it benefit you and your wallet to lease a MINI for driving in and around Miami? ​
In this quick and easy guide, we’ll go over the 5 perks of leasing a MINI rather than financing so you can make an educated decision.
New and Updated Tech
Leasing a MINI means you’re getting the latest models with the newest technology, safety, and driver assistance features available. Because lease terms are often only three years long, this means you’ll always get to capitalize on updates made to popular and exciting models, rather than having to drive the same vehicle for years until you pay off your auto loan.
Save Money on Repairs
One of the biggest benefits of leasing a vehicle is rarely, if ever, needing to worry about repair costs. New vehicles are seldom seen undergoing major repairs; in fact, most of the time, they’d be in a Miami service center to take care of routine maintenance. If a big issue comes along, your new MINI lease would be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty provided by the manufacturer, meaning you only ever need to worry about monthly payments.
Lower Monthly Payments
Speaking of monthly payments, leasing a MINI will result in lower monthly payments than financing the same vehicle. When you lease, you’re actually paying for the depreciation of the vehicle’s value during your contract. This opens opportunities to choose higher-level trims and available features for less than if you chose to purchase the vehicle.
No Down Payment
While you’ll need to pay for the first month of your lease, plus a few standard fees, you don’t need to place a down payment for a lease. Comparatively, when you purchase or finance a new MINI vehicle, you will need to put down roughly 20% of the MINI’s value. This, paired with lower monthly payments, makes for some serious advantages of leasing over buying.
