Loan
For someone who seeks complete ownership and customization of their vehicle, driving it however they please, then the freedoms of a traditional auto loan may be right for you. While the down payment and monthly payments may be larger than that of auto leases, that's because you're paying towards ownership without a term that requires you to return or temporarily extend your vehicle. You also have the ability to trade-in or sell at the end of our journey, without a set deadline to worry about. You are also responsible for the coverage of extensive repairs and services, but if you are comfortable taking on those commitments, then the long-term commitment of owning a car and starting with an auto loan will be worth it!
Lease
Though you do not technically own the car with an auto lease, you can expect a more flexible approach to your driving. The combination of lower monthly payments and coverage of basic car maintenance makes Volkswagen leases a low-stress option. If you're not a driver who clocks in over 12,000 miles annually, then you can drive the latest Volkswagen models at O'Steen Volkswagen of Valdosta for less. Once your lease term is up, you have three options: You can either extend the term with the same Volkswagen, start a new lease with another Volkswagen car, or buy your leased car for a discounted price.
