Getting behind the wheel of a new Ford Explorer has never been easier or less hassle-free. At Mel Ervin Ford, you can choose to buy or lease your next Explorer and take advantage of great deals no matter which option works best for your lifestyle or budget. Leasing a vehicle is not for everyone, but leasing does offer some advantages over buying.
Advantages of Leasing a Ford Explorer
Depending on your personal preferences and financial situation, leasing your next Ford Explorer at our dealership can be a great choice. Leasing typically offers lower monthly payments than purchasing, which can be good news if you have a tight monthly spending budget. Leasing also requires a very small or no down payment, so you usually need less cash to drive off the lot in a great new Ford Explorer. In addition, most repair and some maintenance costs will be covered by the manufacturer's warranty because the lease term is short.
Many drivers are skeptical of leasing a car. Others think it's better to own their vehicle rather than lease, but that's not always the case. You can get some great leasing deals at our dealership, and leasing a vehicle makes it easy to always drive a new or late-model Explorer with all the features a new car has to offer. And as your life situation changes, your car can help you adapt. When you lease, you get a new car every few years. If you have outgrown your Explorer, you can trade up to a larger Ford Expedition. Or scale back to something smaller like the Escape or more adventurous like the all-new Ford Bronco.
Sometimes, getting that dream car is just out of your price range, but leasing makes it easier to get behind the wheel of a more expensive vehicle with the trim package and features you deserve. Leasing offers more flexibility to give you more options to get everything you're looking for in a new vehicle.
Advantages of Purchasing Your Next Ford Explorer
This is also a popular choice for drivers. When you purchase a new Ford Explorer, typically, this involves borrowing money or getting financing from one of the reputable lenders in our vast network of companies we deal with every day. The downside is you are accountable for monthly payments for as long as you drive the car. The upside is, ultimately, the car will become yours outright. This gives you the freedom to make any alterations, upgrades, or customizations you feel are necessary to make your Ford Explorer truly your own.
Another advantage is the lack of mileage limitations. You are free to travel wherever you want to go without worrying about the mileage limits like you would in a lease contract. So, go ahead and take that out of the way road or traverse that rugged path on your next adventure. You won't need to be concerned with any rocks that get kicked up because you won't be penalized for any damage accrued during your time behind the wheel. When you return a lease, you could get dinged for any damage, big or small, found on the vehicle.
If you're in the market for a new Ford Explorer or other vehicle and have been considering leasing, come by and visit our showroom and test drive a Ford Explorer. Our finance department can help you decide if leasing is right for you and give you the best deals possible on a new lease. Our team can help you determine which option works best for your budget or lifestyle. But the first step is choosing which Ford Explorer is your ideal SUV from Mel Ervin Ford.
