A lease is essentially a long-term rental: you pay monthly to drive a new car for a set period (typically 2-3 years) and mileage limit. Your payment usually covers the vehicle, insurance, maintenance (oil changes, inspections, tire rotations), roadside assistance, and warranty coverage. You don't own it, so no depreciation risk is yours. At lease end, you simply return the car. Castle Subaru McHenry's finance team can walk you through exactly what's included in current lease offers and help you find the right monthly payment for your budget.
