SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Choosing to get a new car is a personal decision that requires a great deal of consideration. Which model best suits a family of five? Is a car with good gas mileage or ample cargo room more important for a person who moves frequently? Is leasing or buying a car better for a college student? The choice between buying vs leasing a car in San Antonio TX is also a personal one that Ingram Park Mazda hopes to help drivers feel more informed about.

It is important for drivers to first assess their driving habits, financial status, and lifestyle necessities before choosing between buying or leasing a car. Each option has its benefits and hitches that drivers must weigh in relation to their needs on and off the road. While one option may be ideal for one driver, it can also be a huge mistake for others. Does a driver travel a lot? Does he or she prefer customizing a vehicle? Is he or she more comfortable with monthly payments? These are just a few of the questions to ponder before signing on the dotted line. 

Buying a car is often the best decision for a driver who thrives on being in control. Owning a car gives drivers the freedom to customize the car, choose when to sell it, eventually pay off the cost of the vehicle and drive as far as they want without mileage limitations. Owning a car also means that drivers become fully responsible for any damages and costs that may come up down the line. Buying a car also means heftier upfront costs and if the car was purchased using a loan, those monthly payments and associated costs will be factored into the overall cost of the car.

Leasing a car is great for the driver who doesn't want to be tied down to the same car for years and years. It offers flexibility and diversity, especially if the driver prefers having access to the newest models and technological features. Once the lease is up drivers have the freedom to try out a new car without having to worry about selling their previous one. However, drivers must also be more conscious of wear and tear, mileage, and any unexpected fees they'll incur if something goes wrong. 

Both buying and leasing a car can be a great choice, but drivers must ultimately assess their lifestyle needs before making that decision. For more information on these choices contact Ingram Park Mazda today.
