What is the difference between financing and leasing a car?

Financing a new or used vehicle allows you to purchase it from Hendrick Acura immediately by taking out an auto loan. You then pay off the loan over a set timeframe with interest added. Once the loan is paid off, ownership of the vehicle transfers to you.

Leasing lets you drive a new Acura vehicle without taking out a loan; instead, you make payments to Hendrick Acura for a set period, typically 36 months (although 24-month and 48-month leases are often available).

What is the Acura Precision Certified Pre-Owned Program?

Acura Precision is the rigorous testing and inspection process that ensures all certified pre-owned Acura models are in like-new condition before you can purchase one. To qualify for certification, an Acura vehicle must be six model years old or newer, have 80,000 miles or fewer on the odometer, and possess a clean title and vehicle history report. The vehicle must then pass a 182-point inspection by a factory-trained Acura technician.

What are the benefits of financing a new or used vehicle?

Financing a vehicle puts you on a direct path to ownership, and many Concord drivers want to own their vehicles as soon as possible. Financing your vehicle also frees you from mileage limits that leased vehicles face. You are also free to make modifications to your vehicle when you finance it. Additionally, as you pay off your auto loan, you improve your credit and build equity in your vehicle.

What are the benefits of leasing a new vehicle?

Leasing lets you drive a new Acura vehicle without taking out a loan. Because your lease payments are only meant to cover the vehicle's depreciation during the lease period, they are usually lower than loan repayments. Leasing also provides the flexibility of lease-end options; when the lease ends, you can return the leased vehicle, trade it in for a new model to lease, or purchase it.
