Finance or Lease Your Next Vehicle with Thelen Kia in Michigan

Looking to get behind the wheel of a new Kia in 2025? Are you uncertain about whether or not you should finance or lease it? The team at Thelen Kia in Bay City is here to help you determine which option is best for you. There are merits to both financing and leasing your next vehicle in mid-Michigan, and we are here to explain why each method is advisable. No matter which you wind up choosing for your financial needs, we are confident that you’ll love every moment you spend behind the wheel of your new Kia in Central Michigan

Financing vs. Leasing Your Next Kia Vehicle in Mid-Michigan

Financing Benefits – 

If you are looking to own your next Kia for a long time after you purchase it, financing is the option for you. When you finance, you own the vehicle after your final payment is complete. As such, you’re allowed to do whatever personal alterations to the vehicle that you’d like. This is also the option to choose if you eventually plan on passing it down to your children as their first Kia after your time with it is over. Thanks to the longevity of a modern Kia, we love this reason as an option to consider when purchasing your new vehicle. 

Leasing Benefits –

When compared to financing, leasing has its array of benefits that we recommend you consider. For example, leasing offers better monthly payments on average when compared to financing. As such, this allows you to get behind the wheel of a better-equipped Kia for the same price as if you were financing. Leasing also offers you the opportunity to continually drive the latest in performance and technology, as you can always get behind the wheel of a new model year Kia after your current lease period expires. Finally, you also get to drive your vehicle during the least likely time for repairs throughout your lease.  However, the vehicle can not be altered or personalized because it is returned to the company at the end of your lease term unless you choose to purchase it at that point.
