Leasing vs. Buying Your New Acura Vehicle in Athens, GA

Leasing vs. Buying Your New Acura Vehicle in Athens, GA

Are you asking, “Should I lease or buy my new Acura?” Let O'Steen Acura Athens in Georgia ‐ near Watkinsville, Greensboro, Statham, and Monroe ‐ show you what's involved with both options.

Why Lease a New Acura?

Leasing is the ultimate way to experience unparalleled performance and the latest technology without a long-term commitment. If you love that new car smell and want to navigate the Athens Perimeter in the newest MDX or Integra every few years, an Acura Luxury Lease™ might be your best move.

• Drive the Vehicle at Its Prime: You get to enjoy a brand-new Acura during its most reliable years. We also offer leasing options for our premier Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, giving you luxury performance with added peace of mind.
• Less Cash Up Front: Typically, leasing doesn't require a massive down payment, making it easier to upgrade your ride today.
• Lower Monthly Payments: Since you're only paying for the vehicle's depreciation during the lease term, your monthly out-of-pocket is generally lower than traditional financing.
• End-of-Term Flexibility: When your lease ends, the choice is yours. You can buy the car at a guaranteed price, return it and walk away, or ‐ our favorite ‐ slide into a brand-new Acura for your drives through Monroe and Watkinsville.
• Tax Advantages for Business: If you're using your Acura for business around the Classic City, you may qualify for significant tax benefits. Consult your tax advisor to see how much you can save.
• The One-Pay Lease: Want to keep things simple? Our One-Pay Lease allows you to handle your entire lease in a single transaction, often qualifying you for a discounted rate. You'll still get GAP coverage and a $750 Excessive Wear and Use waiver (loyal customers¹ may even qualify for an additional $500 waiver²).

Why Finance Your Acura?

For those who plan to rack up the miles traveling between Greensboro and Athens or want to truly own their investment, traditional financing is the way to go.

• Ownership Equity: Every payment brings you closer to full ownership. The longer you drive your Acura after the contract is up, the more value you get from your investment.
• No Mileage Restrictions: If your Georgia road trips take you well beyond 15,000 miles a year, financing gives you total freedom. There are no overage fees here ‐ just the open road.
• Make It Yours: Want to add Acura Genuine Accessories or custom emblems for a unique look in the Statham area? When you buy, you have the freedom to customize your vehicle's appearance to your heart's content.
• Acura Care® GAP Coverage: Protect your investment. If your vehicle is ever deemed a total loss, GAP coverage can bridge the difference between your insurance payout and what you owe.
• Acura Leadership Purchase Plan³: Available right here in Georgia, this plan lets you put your name on the title with little to nothing down and low monthly payments. At the end, you can choose to keep the car or return it to us.
