Buy vs Lease near Elmhurst, IL

Buy vs Lease near Elmhurst, IL

Here at Lombard Toyota we understand that there can be some confusion when it comes to deciding whether financing a purchase or leasing is the best option for you. That’s why we’ve put together this quick overview of the key differences to help you make the decision! Our Finance Department would love to talk with you, so give us a call or stop by today. 

Leasing

Leasing is often the choice that customers underestimate. If you’re seriously considering a new vehicle, leasing allows you to take home that same vehicle with an affordable down payment amount and a term length that fits your needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you will essentially be borrowing the vehicle from us here at the dealership, so you will need to keep an eye on the amount of miles you travel in a year and the condition of the vehicle to avoid added fees when turning it in. Leasing also allows you to get behind the wheel of a new vehicle every few years, so you can explore the Toyota lineup or simply upgrade to the latest iteration. 

Buying

Buying or financing a purchase offers its own set of benefits. To start, you’ll be able to choose from new or used vehicles, which opens up your price range. Since you’ll be working towards owning the vehicle you can eventually have a car or SUV with no monthly payments. For those who like to invest in their vehicle or want to pass it down to a family member, buying is likely the best option. You can also customize a vehicle that you own and won’t have to worry if you get a scratch or small dent. Since Toyota vehicles are known for dependability, your purchase is built to last for years to come and can even be sold or traded in if needed down the road.  

Online Tools

Our online finance tools are another way that you can see which option might be best for you. Start by selecting the model and trim that’s on your list, whether that’s a RAV4, Camry, Highlander, or another model. Once you’ve found the right fit, select the finance or lease payment option to see an estimated breakdown based on your current score, current incentives, and our competitive pricing. If you’re thinking about buying a vehicle for the first time, be sure to check out our first time car buyer program. You can get a head start on either finance process from the comfort of home and save time when you’re here in person.

I had a great experience working with Yousef at Lombard Toyota while purchasing my 2026 Toyota 4Runner Limited. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. When I first visited, the vehicle was still in transit, but he took the time to explain the pricing, features, and everything I needed to know. Yousef kept me updated throughout the process and contacted me as soon as the vehicle arrived. He made the test drive enjoyable, explained all the features clearly, and answered all my questions. He also worked with me to get the best possible deal and made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Yousef to anyone looking for a vehicle. His excellent customer service, honesty, and dedication made this one of the best car-buying experiences I've had. Thank you, Yousef, and Lombard Toyota!

I should’ve heeded the negative reviews. Scheduling a test drive was easy enough. They canceled it 1.5 hrs before the appointment due to a stop sale on the vehicle. They emailed this cancellation because they didn’t have my phone number. This cancellation email from Louie was titled “Pleased To Meet You!” ??? I read the email upon my arrival at the dealership right after one of their employees got me seated while requesting my phone number. Upon seeing the email stating the vehicle I was interested in couldn’t be driven, I got up to leave, only to be blocked in by a tall guy who was forcefully explaining they tried to cancel. That there is the biggest reason for the 1 star. If someone’s trying to leave, don’t block their way to yap in their faces. These people give Toyota a bad name.
