Lease or Buy Quiz Results

Thank you for taking the Should You Lease or Buy quiz. You’ll see your results below.
If you had mostly A answers
You might prefer leasing your next vehicle.
Drivers who lease with GM Financial enjoy the freedom of getting into a new vehicle every two to three years. The payments may be lower than financing a vehicle, making it easier to stay within budget and keep expenses down. Since it’s a brand-new vehicle in the best years of its life, maintenance is minimal, and if something goes wrong, the vehicle is likely still under the manufacturer’s warranty. While leases usually come with mileage limitations, they work well for most drivers with shorter commutes who don’t take frequent long road trips.
At the end of a lease, you’ll have the option to purchase the vehicle if you really like it or get in a new vehicle. For tech-forward drivers, this could be the perfect choice to upgrade to the latest and greatest technology every few years.
If you had mostly B answers
You might want to buy your next vehicle.
Drivers who finance with GM Financial enjoy the freedom to travel as many miles as they want and can customize their vehicle exactly to their liking. Finance payments may be more than lease payments would be, but you’re also paying for a larger portion of the vehicle’s life. Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac Protection Plans can help keep your vehicle protected well past the manufacturer’s limited warranty. Another benefit of buying a vehicle is you won’t have to worry about paying for excess wear, like you would on a leased vehicle.
At the end of a finance contract, you’ll have full ownership of the vehicle. For drivers who want control over how far they drive, how customized they make their vehicle and how long they keep it for, financing your next vehicle might be an excellent choice.
