Questions to Consider: Lease vs Buy
Do you enjoy driving a new car every two to three years?
Is your ownership range usually less than 3 years? 4-5 years? 6 or more years? Look at your vehicle history and consider your next step regarding changes in finances and your personal situation before moving forward. Some cars are weekend cruisers; others you may use to pick the kids up from school or commute to work. These practical options tend to pile up the most miles. Think about where your new Mercedes fits in this capacity.
Do you estimate that you will drive more than 15,000 miles per year?
Roughly how many miles a year do you typically drive?
- Less than 15,000
- 16-30,000
- More than 30,000
Think about how you’ll be utilizing your vehicle in the future – will your commute be the same by the time the lease expires? Throughout our lives, where, when and how we drive is constantly evolving. Families grow and change, or we may even be adding additional drivers to the registration. All of this must be thought through when deciding between Mercedes leasing or buying, so take stock before you execute your plan.
Do you buy or trade in your vehicle prior to the expiration of the lease?
- Trade in my existing vehicle for a new one.
- Sell my existing vehicle before I buy a new one.
- Keep my vehicle once I have paid it off.
Financially speaking, we all have different reasons for updating our vehicles. Are you leaning more towards frequently advancing to the latest model, or are you more into building your own automobile collection? Would you prefer to drive a more expensive vehicle with lower monthly payments? Perhaps you have a family member ready for their first car. Indeed, you may have even grown fond of your current vehicle and have the financial means to add to your automotive lineage. Whatever your situation, plan accordingly.
How did you acquire your existing vehicle?
- Lease
- Finance
- Cash
If you aren’t entirely satisfied with how your current payment method or plan worked out, maybe it’s time to make a change. Mercedes-Benz offers many options and financial plans, both for buying and leasing. On the other hand, you may be perfectly happy with how things have been going. Make this analysis before completing your Mercedes-Benz lease deal.
When you bring your new Mercedes-Benz home, what alterations might you make?
Whether you’ve just signed up for our famous C-Class, or selected the new model of the utility vehicle GLC 300, think about ways you may plan to physically alter your vehicle. If you’ve decided to lease your Mercedes, it will most likely need to remain in factory condition. One reason you may choose to buy is that you plan to make slight modifications or even completely customize your vehicle. If you choose to do this, you may violate the terms of your lease agreement. Speak with your dealer to ensure that you know exactly what you’re signing up for.
How important is maintaining your vehicle’s warranty?
If you have owned vehicles in the past or currently have a vehicle warranty, do you typically:
- Replace your vehicle before its factory warranty expires.
- Have a full inspection done on your vehicle before its factory warranty expires.
- Ignore if your car is under warranty or not.
How you handle your warranty and its clauses will greatly affect the re-sale or trade-in value, and even if you can qualify for new leases.
How will you be servicing your vehicle?
Your Mercedes is an engineering feat, and ideally you will be able to frequent an authorized manufacturer or dealer service center. Depending on the terms of your lease, if your vehicle is worked on by anyone other than a certified and registered brand technician, you may be voiding your contract. Whether you perform the maintenance yourself or take it into your local service center, when leasing you must review the terms carefully to confirm any allowances. Ensuring that you adhere to the stipulations of that contract dictates if you can continue to lease, or if you might consider becoming a full-on buyer.
Before visiting one of our many dealerships and speaking with one of our certified agents, make sure that you do your research and come prepared with a list of questions so that we can get you into the driver’s seat as soon as possible.

Carlos and Shealea were very easy to work with and are very patient. I highly recommend visit Mercedes Benz of Georgetown if you value high quality service from the dealer you buy your next car from.

Buying a new vehicle is a joyous and often a daunting experience. If you want to feel like a family member is guiding you through that experience, ask for Tim Ewald at MB of Georgetown. Tim will make you feel like he doesn't have two beautiful boys and a stunning wife waiting for him at home while he guides you through the buying process. Tim of course has his family waiting for him (we saw the pics!), but he makes you feel like you are his most important family member when you are at the dealership. Thank you, gentleman Tim.

We were welcome from the time we arrived at the dealership until the time our transaction was complete. We went to the dealership to purchase a SUV. We traveled from Louisiana to purchase the SUV. The price was the best price in a 500 mile radius from Louisiana. The process was painless and hassle free. The salesperson and the finance person were very professional. I was able to get a lower finance rate than quoted initially. Tabatha Zahler, the sales person, was the best, she is highly recommended. The process was quick and we were on our way back to Louisiana in 2.5 hours.This dealership was very easy to conduct business with. I will recommend this dealership to my family and friends.
