Both financing and leasing have unique advantages-and Castle Kia McHenry supports both paths.

**Financing (buying):** You own the vehicle outright after the loan ends. Manufacturer rebates and special APR rates lower your cost. You build equity and can customize freely. Best if you drive under typical miles, keep your car longer, or want no mileage limits.

**Leasing:** You rent a new car for 2-3 years, then return it. Lease incentives (money factor reductions, cap cost cuts) lower monthly payments. You get warranty coverage, no maintenance stress, and drive the latest model. Best if you prefer a new car every few years and drive moderate miles.

**Which fits you?** Our finance team explores both options and current offers to match your needs and budget. Call (815) 453-8566 to discuss your lifestyle and get personalized numbers.
