Leasing vs. Buying Your Lincoln: Which is Right for You?


 At Capital Lincoln of Cary, we know every driver has unique needs when it comes to choosing their next luxury vehicle. One of the biggest decisions you'll face is whether to lease or buy your new Lincoln. Both options come with their own set of benefits, and the right choice depends on your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals. This fall, as new models arrive on our lot, now is the perfect time to weigh your options.

Benefits of Leasing a Lincoln

Leasing can be an attractive choice for those who love having the latest features and want financial flexibility.

  • Lower Monthly Payments
    Leases typically come with lower monthly payments compared to buying, allowing you to enjoy a luxury Lincoln for less.

  • Drive the Latest Models
    Leasing lets you upgrade more often, usually every 2-3 years, so you can stay current with Lincoln's newest technology, styling, and performance upgrades.

  • Minimal Maintenance Concerns
    Since most leases fall within the factory warranty period, you won't have to worry about major repair costs.

  • Flexibility at the End of the Term
    When your lease is up, you can choose to lease a new Lincoln, buy the one you've been driving, or simply return it.

Leasing is a great option for shoppers in Cary, Raleigh, and the greater Triangle area who enjoy flexibility and the thrill of driving a new vehicle more often.

Benefits of Buying a Lincoln

For those who want long-term value and ownership, buying a Lincoln outright may be the better fit.

  • Full Ownership
    Once your vehicle is paid off, it's entirely yours-no more monthly payments.

  • No Mileage Limits
    Leasing contracts usually include mileage restrictions. Buying means you can drive as much as you want, whether it's commuting daily or heading on weekend trips to the North Carolina mountains or coast.

  • Build Long-Term Value
    Your Lincoln becomes an asset you can sell or trade in when you're ready for your next vehicle.

  • Personalization
    Buying allows you to customize your Lincoln to your preferences with accessories or upgrades.

Buying is ideal for drivers who want to keep their vehicle for many years, enjoy road trips, or prefer the stability of long-term ownership.

Factors to Consider Before Deciding

When choosing between leasing and buying, ask yourself:

  • How often do I like to upgrade to a new vehicle?

  • What's my typical annual mileage?

  • Do I want to build equity in my vehicle?

  • Am I looking for lower payments or long-term savings?

Your answers to these questions will help determine which option aligns best with your lifestyle.
