Buy vs Lease near Oak Brook, IL
Finding your ideal Toyota is only one decision you have to make. The other pertains to whether you wish to buy or lease your next model. Lombard Toyota has details on both of these routes, so let us explain each.
Buying
The more known way to acquire a vehicle is buying. With this avenue, you will have your pick from both our new and pre-owned models, which means your pool of options is widened. Once you have found your preferred mode of transportation, you will begin a contract that lasts around four to seven years. You may see some variation with this time frame, as it is based on your monthly contributions toward the full sticker price. So, the more you reimburse each period will determine how long your contract lasts.
Leasing
While owning is the preferred route for some drivers in Oak Brook, that doesn’t mean it is the correct path for all. So, if you aren’t quite ready to finance a vehicle outright, let us turn you toward a leasing contract. These agreements are shorter in length, averaging out at about three years. Thanks to this, you won’t have to settle down with a particular model before you are ready. Instead of paying off the full cost of your Toyota, you will be responsible for the expected depreciation value that is set based on your mileage limit. The latter restriction is determined by your driving patterns across Kingery Highway.
Which Is Better?
You may wish to hear that one option is better than the other. However, neither of the two described routes outpaces the other. In fact, they are both perfectly reasonable ways to acquire a vehicle. To decide which works for your lifestyle, you’ll need to take a look at your life. For example, if you wish to head down Butterfield Road to embark on adventures outside of Illinois, then buying may be your preferred route. This is because you won’t have to worry about going over a mileage limit. However, if you just need a vehicle for simple trips to and from the grocery store, then we recommend leasing. Our finance center is readily available to assist you with your needs. If you have questions or wish to begin your contract of choice, reach out to us!

Customer service was above and beyond. From John greeting me in the service bay, to Samantha at the desk, and Ron, my technician, everyone was friendly and professional and listened to my concerns. I couldn't be happier or ask for more. If you're in the area, definitely stop in and give these amazing folks a chance to help you with your vehicle. ”

“ I wish I could give zero stars. We have always been very loyal to Toyota, and we love our Toyota and Lexus vehicles. However, we purchased our vehicle from Lombard Toyota in May 2025, nine months ago, and we still have not received our title! We paid for it in FULL, in cash! It is now January 24, 2026. This is completely unacceptable. We've made multiple calls, and each time we get excuses and promises that "it's being processed" and "it should be here soon." Nine months is far beyond any reasonable timeframe for title processing. This isn't just an inconvenience; it is a serious problem that affects our legal ownership of our vehicle, which we paid for in full. The lack of follow-through and communication from this dealership is appalling. If you are considering buying from here, be warned: They may be happy to take your money, but don't expect them to meet the basic legal requirements of the sale. We have to write this negative review to compel them to make our title a priority (finally). We are now exploring legal options to resolve this matter, as the dealership has clearly demonstrated that they will not handle it on their own. Do yourself a favor: to avoid a gigantic headache and legal recourse, buy elsewhere. ”
