Deciding whether to lease or buy a new car is never an easy decision. The Association of Consumer Vehicle Lessors and Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com) are now offering a new "Leasing vs. Buying Quiz" for all consumers coming to Kelley's kbb.com Web site for automotive information and advice.The "Leasing vs. Buying Quiz" prepared by the Association of Consumer Vehicle Lessors (www.acvl.com) is designed to assist consumers with their decision on whether leasing or buying is right for them."To make an informed decision whether to lease or buy, the consumer needs to take into consideration what’s going to happen at the beginning, during and at the end of the lease," said ACVL President Jesse Bragg. "Our quiz is intended to help the consumer take all the factors important to that individual into consideration before signing any agreement on a new vehicle," Bragg added."We think the Leasing vs. Buying Quiz will be a great source of information for consumers making this decision," said Charlie Vogelheim, editor of Kelley Blue Book. "Having the Quiz accessible from the 'advice' page of our KBB.com website will give millions of consumers the opportunity to make a more informed decision on buying vs. leasing. We recognize ACVL as the experts in the leasing field and applaud the great job they’ve done with all the leasing information they’ve put into their ACVL.com lease site. It’s definitely the best on the Web," Vogelheim added.There are four main issues consumers should consider regarding their trade cycle when deciding whether to lease or buy, according to Bernard de Souza, chairman of the ACVL Customer Satisfaction Committee that developed the quiz.
For trade-in cycles longer than five years, refinancing issues tend to make financing a better option, although it is just one of a number of factors to consider. Consumers can take the ACVL "Lease vs. Buy Quiz" by visiting the Kelly Blue Book web site (select the advice page and then the Lease vs. Buy Quiz) at KBB.com, or by visiting the ACVL site directly (ACVL.com).
