SHOULD YOU BUY, OR SHOULD YOU LEASE?
There’s benefits to both ways you can get into a new vehicle – weigh your options, and figure out what works best for you.
Lease
Leasing offers affordable payments with shorter terms. Leasing allows you to:- Consider vehicles with more options
- Choose your desired trade cycle
- Have peace of mind since most terms are within the warranty period
- Exercise your purchase option and keep it
- Exercise your purchase option and apply the equity to the next vehicle
- Drop off the keys and walk away (subject to any excess kilometers or wear-and-tear charges)
Buy
Conventional loans typically require longer terms to achieve affordable payments. This keeps you:- From trading into a new vehicle sooner
- Driving the same vehicle longer even when you are ready to trade.
- The owner must find a buyer.
- The owner assumes all risk of unexpected depreciation.
- The vehicle’s condition, mileage, and wear and tear will be a factor in assessing the total value of the vehicle.
- The owner must satisfy the loan balance regardless of the vehicle value.

EMPLOYMENT & INCOME
Usually, a minimum requirement of three months of employment and a monthly income of at least $1800 is necessary. Other sources of income such as specific forms of government assistance may also be considered.
DRIVER’S LICENSE
A valid driver’s license and meeting the age of majority in your province of residence are both essential requirements. Lenders are aware that individuals who possess a legal license to drive are more likely to fulfill their car loan obligations.
BANK ACCOUNT
To facilitate the monthly payment process, the lender prefers to withdraw the amount directly from your bank account. The most convenient method to set this up is to provide a void cheque or a stamped pre-authorized payment form.
DOWN PAYMENT
While a down payment may not always be mandatory, it can be beneficial in many cases. The smaller the amount that needs to be financed, the higher the likelihood of obtaining approval for your car loan from the lender.
CURRENT ADDRESS
To finalize your loan agreement, it is necessary to provide the lender with your present address and address-related information, such as your monthly rent or mortgage payment.
CONTACT DETAILS
To apply for a car loan, you must provide your complete name, date of birth, phone number, and email address.
