I Want a Short-Term Plan…Why Lease?

Looking for a low-commitment option that’s also budget-friendly? Opt for a Hyundai lease, where your terms typically last from 1-5 years—after which, you get a few options: lease a new car/SUV, buy the ride you leased, or simply return your cruiser and call it good. Since you can technically continue to drive new cars, a lease is the perfect option for keeping up with the latest automotive trends and helping you cruise in something new if you like change. Also, keep in mind your down payment and monthly fees are usually cheaper than a loan of the same vehicle for an affordable plan.

However, with a lease, you’ll need to agree to a mileage allowance—and you’ll also be charged for dings, dents, wear, and tear at the end of your term. But keep in mind this isn’t usually an issue if you casually drive and take care of your ride.

In It for Keeps: Why Get a Loan?

Want to keep your car? Then a loan is already a solid option for you since you make a series of monthly payments to eventually own your vehicle. Since the ride is technically yours, you’re free to add a wrap to your Veloster N or install an aftermarket roof rack on your Tucson—even sell your vehicle and pocket the money—it’s yours after all.

Keep in mind that with a loan, you have full freedom in how you drive your cruiser since you won’t need to worry about mileage limits or wear and tear fees. However, you’ll usually pay more for your down payment and monthly payments when compared to a lease. Also, your ownership costs can increase over time, like needing to pay for more expensive repairs after five years of ownership—but it’s usually worth the cost if you love fully owning your vehicle.
