Close Buy vs Lease near Greenwich, CT
If you’re at a crossroads, trying to decide between buying and leasing a BMW, read this guide on the subject provided to you by the BMW of Westchester team! Afterward, contact our dealership to get started on either one of these contracts.
Buying
When you’re buying a car, you can make your selection from both the new and pre-owned inventories available at our location. Since the goal is to make the vehicle you pick permanently yours, you have to cover its total sticker cost either through an upfront cash payment or by taking out a loan you can reimburse in the course of four to seven years. If you’re a fan of road trips, purchasing might be beneficial, because you won’t have to watch how many miles you’re adding to the odometer during your travels far away from Greenwich. Buying also gives you the freedom to customize your model with modifications like larger wheels, audio system upgrades, and endless other possibilities.
Leasing
In contrast, leasing narrows down your options to factory-fresh vehicles that we have in stock at our store. Once you’ve decided on the model you’d like to drive up and down Interstate 684 for the foreseeable future, you can determine how long you want to keep it for, with typical term lengths being two to four years. Your mileage allowance is another detail of your contract you have a say over. This figure can be high or low depending on your driving needs, and your monthly installment amount is calculated based on the limit you decide on and the duration of your agreement. Since you can be charged for damage beyond normal wear and tear, you might want to be careful as to not cause any.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Considering the distinct benefits of buying and leasing, which option you should choose would largely depend on your personal circumstances. One great benefit of leasing is that you can write off the cost as a business expense for tax purposes. So, if you’re an entrepreneur in need of transportation for your enterprise, a lease might be a cost-effective option. On the other hand, if you plan to use your next vehicle for off-road adventures around Forked River Mountain, you’d be wise to purchase one, since that would allow you not to stress about your model incurring excess wear and use while facing off with the elements. Do you still need help deciding? Then contact our team, and we’d be happy to help.

Exceptional Experience with Frank Marte and Said Haider
“ Exceptional Experience with Frank Marte and Said Haider I recently had the most pleasant experience at this BMW dealership, thanks to Frank Marte and Said Haider. Frank, the client advisor, was beyond helpful. Knowing I was driving in from an hour away, he started the process over email and phone, ensuring everything would be quick and easy upon my arrival. Frank went above and beyond to help me find the exact car I was looking for, carefully listening to my preferences and needs. He negotiated the best price for me with complete transparency, which was incredibly reassuring. The sales staff were the friendliest and most professional I have ever encountered. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with utmost respect and courtesy. Said Haider, the after sales and compliance manager, was also very professional and to the point. They didn’t waste my time or pressure me into buying unnecessary packages. Their respectfulness and helpfulness were truly remarkable. The entire process was smooth and efficient. Frank ensured that all paperwork was ready, and I didn't have to wait long at all. I appreciated how they valued my time and made the whole experience hassle-free. The dealership was clean, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel comfortable and valued as a customer. I am still in awe of the experience I had. In all my years of leasing vehicles, this was by far the most pleasant of them all. The level of customer service and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be back for my next lease and will highly recommend this dealership to all my friends and family. The way they do business is definitely worth the ride. Thank you, Frank and Said, for making this such a memorable and positive experience! ”
