Buying or leasing, it’s an age-old debate and is probably one of the most controversial topics frequently discussed in automotive and financial circles. “You Need To Buy! It’s the only sensible choice” or “Only Idiots would buy a vehicle, leasing it is the way to go!” are probably phrases you’ve heard in your life. It’s unfortunate that people are so polarized over leasing or buying a vehicle when the truth is a little more complex than that.

For some people, leasing or buying is strictly a matter of money. For others, it’s more about their connection to their vehicle. Either way, you will be in this vehicle for potentially years, so it’s essential to take some time to make sure you pick the option that is right for you.

Buying vs. Leasing a Car

Leasing a vehicle is essentially renting it from a dealer for a predetermined amount of time. Then, when your lease period ends, you have the option of returning or purchasing your trusty vehicle. (For a predetermined amount, of course!)

Buying a vehicle means that you skip the rental period and hop straight into ownership and all of the expenses that go along with that. Leases generally have a determined number of miles you can drive annually. Most leases come with a 10,000-mile yearly allowance. The monthly payment will go up slightly if you end up driving more than your yearly allotment. If you drive more than the mileage limit in the contract, you’ll owe cash for every extra mile when your lease ends.

However, the monthly payments for a lease are usually lower than it would be for you to get a purchase loan on it. You aren’t building any equity in the vehicle, though, which is why generally, the rule of thumb is to buy a cheap car and lease an expensive one. The depreciation that would hit an expensive vehicle could overcome any equity you might have otherwise built if you purchased it. Plus, you can buy the vehicle at the end of your lease for the pre-arranged price. This is determined by Residual Value and is essentially how much the vehicle is worth at the end of your lease agreement with depreciation taken into account.

When you lease a vehicle, you might have to put some money down. The more you put down, the cheaper your monthly lease payment will be. Keep your eyes open, though, because often, manufacturers will discount leases to try to move unsold inventory. You might be able to get a great deal with an incentive that makes leasing a no-brainer!

It may not make financial sense to put a lot of cash down on a vehicle that you will hand back to the dealer. But, on the other hand, if you’re pretty sure you’re going to keep the vehicle when the lease expires, it will save you money at that point.

Leasing also gives you the opportunity to spring for a more luxurious car than you would otherwise be able to afford! The payments on leases are usually considerably less expensive than purchasing.

The biggest disadvantage to leasing vs. buying is that you don’t acquire any equity in the vehicle. It’s much like renting an apartment. You make the monthly payments but have no claims to ownership. This can hurt future vehicle purchases because you won’t have a trade-in to reduce the cost of the next one.

For lots of people, there isn’t any feeling in the world like cruising off the lot with that new car smell. If that sounds like you, leasing could very well be the way to go.

Another big advantage to leasing is that you often get a warranty that lasts the entire length of your lease. Meaning most of your repairs should be covered, thereby largely reducing the risks of significant vehicle repairs.

There are also tax considerations. Are you using your vehicle for business purposes? Leasing will often give you more tax write-offs than a loan would. That’s because you are allowed to deduct both the depreciation and financing costs for each monthly payment. However, remember that leasing luxury automobiles generally limit how much you are allowed to write off.

There are many benefits and drawbacks to both leasing a vehicle and buying a vehicle. However, you need to let your lifestyle determine which is the best choice for you.

Obviously, the issue is a bit more complicated than a blanket ‘Do’ or ‘Don’t’ for your situation. Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed? Don’t stress about it, our friendly staff of vehicle sales specialists is waiting by to help you talk through the decision. They can give you real numbers on leasing vs. buying and help you through every step of the way. From finding the perfect vehicle to financing your way off the lot with it.

Hazardous winter road conditions and the constantly changing midwest winter weather can be nerve-wracking to commute in. Keeping your car prepared for whatever comes your way this winter, will help keep you safe. Here at Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City, we thought of 5 car care tips and essentials to keep in your that will help you be prepared to adequately handle the winter roads!

Phone Charger

If you don’t already have a phone charger in your car, get one! This could be a literal lifesaver if you get in an accident, stuck in a ditch, or in any other situation where you need to call for help. Cold weather can rapidly drain your phone’s battery causing it to power off quicker than normal. To help avoid this, make it a habit to plug your phone into the charger whenever you get in your car to ensure you will be able to use it in an emergency.

Water and Non-Perishable Snacks

 If you get stuck waiting for a tow truck or can’t leave work for lunch due to inclement weather, having some extra snacks and water in your vehicle could be useful. Granola bars, trail mix, or a box of crackers are all affordable options to keep in your car. Keeping water in your vehicle will help keep you from getting dehydrated if you’re in a situation where you’re waiting for help. Keeping a case of bottled water in the back of your vehicle will also help add more weight to your vehicle to prevent sliding.

Make sure your vehicle is up-to-date on all routine maintenance

Making sure your car is up-to-date on routine maintenance is crucial for your safety and the longevity of your vehicle. At Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City, we check all your fluids and top-off any that are needed, check your tire pressure, and refill your windshield washer fluid with freeze resistance fluid. The last thing anyone wants is to be stalled on the side of the road, or have low tire pressure while navigating slick roads. Being proactive and taking care of seemingly little things will save you stress and headaches down the road!

Sand or Kitty Litter

 This one might seem odd, but hear us out. We suggest you keep one of these items in the back of your vehicle for a couple of different reasons. One of the reasons is, sand and kitty litter are coarse materials, if you were to get stuck you can easily spread the material on the ground by your tires, so your tires have something to help them grip onto to help get you unstuck. The other reason we suggest keeping these materials handy in your vehicle is to help weigh down the back of your vehicle to reduce fishtailing and sliding. Specifically in the back of compact or sedan cars, and trucks with a light bed.

Jumper Cables

 Being in a situation where you need jumper cables is never a fun one. However, keeping a set in your vehicle will help eliminate at least one step to get your car going again. A dead battery is a common car issue so, you can easily find jumper cables at most stores that have an automotive department. Our service techs at Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City suggest having your battery tested whenever you come in for routine maintenance. Knowing the current condition of your battery will help you be proactive and get your battery replaced if it needs it. If you’ve recently had your vehicle serviced but would like your battery tested, no worries! We will test your battery for free!

 We hope you find these 5 winter car care tips and essentials helpful while you navigate the hazardous conditions. If you have more suggestions let us know in the comments!

Winter can feel like it’s longer than just a season, some love to watch snowflakes lazily drift down from the sky and land on the Kansas City landscape. Others, when they see snow they see hazardous roads and bitterly cold days. At some point, we all need a bit of a pick-me-up to help us finish winter strong. At Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City, we thought of some easy winter date ideas around the Kansas City metro area that will help cure your winter blues!

Chicken N Pickle

For this activity, we recommend bringing some friends along! Chicken N Pickle is a unique dining and entertainment experience that started in North Kansas City and is rapidly expanding in the Midwest and Southern states. Enjoy the large indoor/outdoor entertainment complex that hosts eight pickleball courts (four inside and four outside), a variety of yard games, and a delicious restaurant where you can relax and enjoy the company of your friends. You can reserve a court to ensure that you will be able to play or go just for the dining experience! Chicken N Pickle will easily become your new favorite go-to hangout spot with your friends.

Axe Throwing

Looking for stress relief or something different to do for a date night? We have a suggestion for you, Axe Throwing! We love this unique activity at Blade and Timber, it’s a great way to destress after a long week or something out of the ordinary to try. There are two Blade and Timber locations in the Kansas City Metro area. One of the locations is in Leawood, Kansas. The other location is in the Power and Light District, in Kansas City, MO. We love that both of the locations have a variety of dining options nearby to help keep the date night! 

Mav’s game at Cable Dahmer Arena

Kansas City is home to many professional sports teams. One of them is the Kansas City Mavericks, Kansas City’s local hockey team. The Mav’s games are played exclusively at Cable Dahmer Arena and are some of the best sporting experiences we have ever had. There is never a dull moment during a Mav’s game. From the fast-paced game and the typical (but entertaining) hockey fights that break out, to the excellent crowd participation and games, you will stay entertained the whole time! Going to a Mav’s game will be one of the best sporting experiences you’ve had in a while. Go Mavs!

Top Golf

Top Golf isn’t local to Kansas City, however, everyone loves it! It has something for everyone, great food and drinks, music, and casual golf-based games. You don’t have to be a golf pro or know anything about golf to have a good time at Top Golf. This is a great place to bring a group of friends (you can split the cost of the bay to make it even more affordable)! Each group gets its own bay that overlooks a huge outfield that has a variety of different size targets making it fun for advanced players and those who are there just for a good time with friends. Although the space is outdoors, you won’t notice the cold because of the covered bays and heaters placed around the area. Don’t worry about bringing golf equipment, they have you covered, just arrive ready to have a good time!

Progressive Dinner

We may or may not have seen this trend on Tik Tok but, it’s so much fun, and it lets you try something new! A progressive dinner is when you go somewhere new for each course of a meal. For example, you would start with drinks and go to the Campground in the Kansas City West Bottoms, and end with dessert at Hurts Donuts in South Kansas City. This can be as casual, or as fancy as you want it to be! This is a simple, but fun way to get out of the house, and enjoy some quality time together to try new places in Kansas City.

We hope you enjoy these Kansas City winter date night ideas! If you have any suggestions, let us know in the comments!
