FAQs on Financing: Tips on How to Pay for Your Next Car

The process of finding the right new or pre-owned car can be a challenge, especially in today’s uncertain car-buying environment. At Byers Mazda in Columbus, OH, we want to remove as many challenges as possible from the task of financing that car, whether it’s a new Mazda or a quality pre-owned model. Before you apply for auto financing, here are answers to some of the financing questions we hear most often about financing.

“Should I Get a Loan or A Lease?”

The answer depends on your financial goals. Some benefits of a car loan are that it lets you build actual cash value that you can use toward your next car. A lease is like renting in that you never own the car or create any cash buildup. Another car loan advantage is that, as you make your monthly payments on time, you’re gradually raising your credit score, which makes it worth filling out a finance application.

The biggest advantage of a lease is that your monthly payments are almost always lower than payments on a car loan. Another leasing advantage is that, at the end of your lease period, usually 36 months, you don’t have the hassle of selling that lease vehicle. Just bring your leased Mazda back to us, pay for any excess damage or excess mileage as you drive around Westerville or Hilliard, OH and you can just start a new lease with a new Mazda.

“Is It True I Can Buy a Car from You Online, Including the Financing Step?”
