Leasing or buying?
Discover the differences
Not sure whether to lease or buy a car? Before choosing which path to follow, it’s important to understand the differences. Everything depends on your priorities and needs. At Ayvens, we’re here to help you make the ideal choice!
- Initial costs
Leasing When you lease a car, you’re not the owner. You simply pay a fixed monthly fee to use it for a specific time period. This monthly fee includes road tax, insurance, repairs, maintenance and tyres. The only additional cost you have to pay is fuel. At Ayvens you do the driving. We do the rest!
Buying When you buy a car, you pay all the costs upfront. You’ll also need to budget for regular costs such as insurance, taxes and annual maintenance. In addition, you’ll need to cover any surprise costs such as repairs, tyres and so on.
- Flexibility
Leasing Leasing means you’re bound by a contract that ranges from 36 to 72 months. But every time you renew your contract, you can upgrade to a newer model more frequently than you otherwise would, meaning you always have a new car. Since you do not need to buy the car upfront, you can use that money to cover other business or personal needs.
Buying When you buy a car, you can sell it at any time. However, you may face depreciation costs and the sale price is not as predictable as the expiry of a lease.
- Ease of use
Leasing Leasing frees up your time to focus on your core business or your day-to-day life. Once you sign your contract, all you need to do is pay the monthly fee. Ayvens manages all your car's needs, from insurance to maintenance, providing you with a hassle-free experience. With Ayvens you do the driving; we take care of the rest.
Buying When you own a car, you may need to coordinate and schedule appointments for maintenance and repairs, meaning you spend more time actually managing everything your car needs.
