Leasing a New 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?
