Are you looking for a new Subaru to fit your west coast lifestyle but you're not sure if you should buy or lease? Luckily, our Subaru sales professionals at Subaru of San Bernardino are experienced in meeting the unique and specific needs of our customers and helping San Bernardino Subaru drivers decide whether ownership or lessee status fits their needs better. With that experience in mind, we're happy to not only help you find the right new Subaru, we're excited to guide you to the best way for you to drive home in a new Subaru.
If you're not intimidated by commitment, buying a Subaru can be a worthwhile and rewarding experience. Subaru vehicles are not only some of the most affordable new models on the market, they're also among the most reliable--95% of Subaru vehicles sold in the past ten years are still on the road today. That kind of longevity and continued performance as well as coveted features like standard all-wheel drive and fantastic gas mileage helps your Subaru retain its value. To recap, here are a few key reasons why we recommend buying a Subaru from Subaru of San Bernardino:
For a variety of reasons, you may decide it's better to lease your new Subaru rather than purchasing it. Leasing a new Subaru is a great way to get to know the features, performance, and personality of a Subaru before locking yourself into a long term commitment. When you lease, you don't have to worry about paying the interest on a major loan and if you feel a different Subaru model fits your needs better, you can trade out at the end of your lease period. Leasing is great if you're a person who needs options and with the ability to extend your lease or purchase the lease vehicle at the end of the term, options are plentiful. So why lease?
