Why Lease a BMW?

Do you dream of making your daily commute to Pacific Palisades in a luxury vehicle? If you aren’t quite ready to invest in purchasing or financing a vehicle, car leasing may just be the perfect solution. When you lease a car near Brentwood you get to enjoy all the same new vehicle benefits, like modern features and upgraded performance, without the long-term financial commitment. Get a closer look at the benefits of leasing with BMW of Santa Monica in the guide below to find out if a BMW lease could be right for you!

Benefits of Leasing Explained.

Is it a wise decision to lease a car near Culver City? From lower monthly payments to the ability to stretch your budget farther, car leasing can be packed with benefits. Learn more about some of the most prominent benefits of leasing, below:

  • When you sign onto a BMW lease with us, you can often get more car for less money. That’s because a car loan is based on the full price of a new car, while a lease is based only on a percentage of the car’s price. At BMW of Santa Monica, we’ll customize a program to fit your specific needs, so you can more fully enjoy the benefits of leasing a car.
  • Down payments associated with leasing vs. buying a car are also different. If you only have a small down payment saved up, car leasing may be the better option. Many car leases require anywhere from $0 to several thousand dollars upfront, though the down payment is negotiable.
  • Many lease agreements last up to three years at most, which is also the length of BMW Ultimate Care (3 years or 36,000 miles). That means the car is usually covered under warranty for repairs during the duration of the lease. Failure to complete proper maintenance can result in fees when the lease is up. Enquire today about our pre-paid maintenance services.
  • If you enjoy having the newest luxury features, car leasing could be the better choice for you. Since you’d be starting a new BMW lease approximately every four years, each new car you lease will have the latest and greatest technology and safety features.
  • With a BMW lease, you don’t have to worry about selling the car or getting a good price for your trade-in. When the lease is up, you can simply turn in the car and walk away.
