Leasing vs. Purchasing at Mercedes-Benz of Tuscaloosa
What is Leasing?
When you lease a vehicle, you make monthly payments to our dealership to be able to drive your dream car. The leasing period usually lasts 36 months, though the timeframe can vary depending on the vehicle. At the end of the lease, you can return the leased vehicle, trade it in for a new model to lease, or buy it.
What is Purchasing?
When you purchase or finance your vehicle, you take out a loan to pay for it immediately. You then pay back the loan in installments over a period of time, with interest added. Once the loan is paid off, the vehicle belongs completely to you.

What are the Pros and Cons of Leasing?
Leasing a vehicle lets you drive a new car without having to make a long-term financial commitment. Leasing a vehicle is also a great option if you enjoy driving a new vehicle every few years. However, when you lease a vehicle you can't make modifications and you have to stay under mileage limits.
What are the Pros and Cons of Purchasing?
