Leasing Pros

• Little down payment required - Sometimes you can completely skip the down payment all together!
• You can drive an upscale car for less money than if you were to buy - Opt for a higher trim level and only pay slightly more per month.
• Your vehicle remains under factory warranty - Don't stress about repair and maintenance bills!
• Lower monthly payments - Drive a brand new car for an affordable price.
• Trade up into a brand new Subaru at the end of your lease term - You get to have a new car every few years!

Leasing Cons

• You don't own your car. You must turn it in at the end of your lease term.
• Your miles will be limited. For example, some leases only allow you 10,000 - 12,000 miles per year.
• You cannot do a lot of modifications to your new car.
• It can be difficult to end your lease early.
• Leasing can be more expensive in the long run, depending on which vehicle and trim level you pick.

Buying Cons

• Buying a new Subaru may require a larger down payment.
• When you purchase a new vehicle, your payment will more than likely be higher than it would be if you lease depending on how much you put down.
• New cars depreciate in value over time.
• When you want something new, you will have to trade in your vehicle or sell it to a private party.
