Is it better to lease a Volkswagen or buy one? If you're like me the answer has been 'buy!' Because no way was I going to pay for something that I didn't own. But then, slowly, I began to realize I never really own my cars. And that's because I'm making payments forever. Plus by the time I'm done making payments I want something new anyway! And that doesn't even mention the cost of repairs once the vehicle is out of warranty. Another factor not being mentioned is the breakneck pace at which technology in our cars is progressing.

Perhaps leasing a Volkswagen is the way to go for you. Or maybe buying. The answer is different for everyone. But leasing has been increasingly popular over the past several years and for good reason. (I think, because, yes I've converted and now always lease my vehicles.) Got Specific Questions? Shant's offered to answer your specific Volkswagen lease questions too. His direct line is 909-230-5611 and his email is SBashian [at] OntarioVW [dot] com. Continue reading or click play below.

Tom Smith here, and I am excited to be at Ontario Volkswagen with my good pal, Shant Bashian, the general sales manager of Ontario Volkswagen. "What are you gonna do with the car? How many miles are you gonna put on it, and then where do you see yourself three years from?" The topic du jour today is one that's on a lot of people's mind when they go to buy a new car and that is just simply, "Do I buy or do I lease?" I've formed some personal opinions on it myself, but we are going to hear from the man here at Ontario Volkswagen. Mr. Bashian, thank you so much for joining me yet again. VW Lease & Buy Factors To Consider Shant: Thanks for having me Tom, and that question comes up all the time. I find that most people know whether they want to buy or lease a Volkswagen because they understand it now. There's a lot of information out there. For us, we have a different perspective regarding buying versus lease. We're in the business and we like to get the upgraded product rather quickly, but it really comes down to this. Shant is always happy to layout the Volkswagen Lease versus Buy options. What are you planning on doing with the vehicle? What's the purpose of the car? How many miles are you gonna drive it? And, are you the type of person that likes to have something new rather quickly? Do you get bored of your vehicle? Warranty Consideration For Leasing Or Buying You have to look into that.
