Buy vs Lease near Columbia, SC

Visit Our Finance Department Today!

Finding the right Mazda driving option is only half of the battle of the automotive purchasing process. After that is complete, you have to determine whether buying or leasing will impact your driving experience the best. Both boast their own respective benefits, and it all depends on what piques your interest the most. So, we at Gerald Jones Mazda are here to lay out all of the details in front of you so you can make the best decision.

Leasing

If you are the type of driver that grows bored of your automobile pretty quickly, then leasing might be right up your alley! The reason is that terms only last an average of two to four years. And, since you will only be borrowing the vehicle from us during that time frame, you will have the opportunity to tap into the latest and greatest features when you upgrade after your contract ends. Another benefit that comes as a result of taking this path is that you will save some cash. That is because you will only have to cover the vehicle’s depreciation while it is in your care! Pair that with the fact you won’t necessarily be required to give a down payment, and leasing is perfect for saving extra cash in the short term.

Buying

On the other side of the automotive acquisition spectrum is the opportunity to buy the vehicle you are interested for its full price. Unlike leasing, you also won’t be limited to brand-new driving options, and you can also take advantage of the pre-owned models that we have in stock. Contracts typically last anywhere from four to seven years, so when your term is finally complete, you will have full ownership of your model to do with as you please. The best way to think about it is that you are investing in your future because you will be able to use it as a trade in when you do decide to upgrade to a different model. If you want to receive your go-ahead right now, fill out our online Get Pre-Approved form and we will promptly get back to you.

Inventory

If you haven’t already, you can get started shopping around for the perfect set of wheels right here on our website! Just double-click on the inventory link that pertains to your specific needs at the top of your screen. After that is accomplished, you will be relocated to a screen filled with vehicles that put a premium on reliability, power, and technology. Instead of spending your entire day flipping from page to page, head over to the Narrow Your Search tool on the left side of your screen to filter you viewing down to your specific stipulations. Just select your preferred year, make, model, color, and so much more, and you will instantly have a viewing that makes sense for your needs.

I first contacted Mr. PJ Jones over Cargurus, communication is very prompt and Mr. PJ gave me a competitive price and fee schedule. It is a bit nervous because I am from SC and will travel over 2 hours to get to their dealership, Gary the sales person makes the paperwork process very smooth. Upon arrival at Augusta, the buying process is very quick, I got the paperwork done in less than 20 minutes the most. To my surprise, whatever Mr. PJ quoted me over email is exactly what I am getting. No hidden fee, changes at the last minute. It is great to see people do business that way. The only small thing is they put a sticker on the back of the car which seems way to big, be nice if they can put smaller sticker that blends in better with the vehicle or just don't put the sticker on their.

I went with my sister to sell my mother's car. We were treated respectfully and given a fair price. It was not resale value, but it was fair for a trade in value.

Kevin was so kind and seemed genuine. Before my appointment, I kept having to reschedule my appointments. He offered to let me use his car if I needed it. People are not kind anymore. That was the nicest thing anyone has said or offered to do in quite some time. He also gave me a discount. I was very grateful for. He is willing to help in anyway possible. He made my experience with Mazda EXCELLENT! Thank you Kevin. God bless you!

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I worked with the dealer via text and phone and lined up great pricing and a trade in value (numbers checked vs. Kelly Blue Book) as well as approved 5 year/ 0% financing the day before I before I went to the dealership. I had to drive from Charleston to Augusta because none of the Charleston or Columbia dealers could even get close to this deal. When I got there, they didn't try to change any of the terms or upsell me anything else. They just showed me all the features on my new car, had me sign the paperwork, and I was out of there in 40 minutes total. Plus I LOVE my new CX5!!! This is how car buying should be.

Great folks, Great Place!
