At Subaru of Baton Rouge, we offer a wide selection of new Subaru vehicles available to buy or lease. Deciding whether to lease or buy is a big choice, and while we won’t make the decision for you, we’re here to give you the facts so you can make the option that best fits your lifestyle.
When you lease a Subaru, you’ll enjoy lower monthly payments and the flexibility to upgrade every few years. At the end of your lease, you simply return your vehicle and move on to the next one. If you choose to buy, you’ll have the benefit of full ownership, the freedom to drive as many miles as you like, and the ability to sell or trade it in whenever you’re ready. Buying is often best for those who drive more than 10,000 miles per year or who want to keep their vehicle long-term.
Whether you’re considering the Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy, WRX, or BRZ, we have great lease and finance offers designed to fit your budget. Our knowledgeable staff can walk you through the pros and cons of each option and help you decide what makes the most sense for you.
