Close Buy vs Lease in Bakersfield, CA
If you want to take the wheel of a vehicle but are not sure whether you want to buy or lease, visit Haddad Dodge Ram to consult our Finance Department team! We can offer professional advice about these two paths.
Buying
Taking home a vehicle can be a major life decision, so it’s important to be able to break up the cost over a longer period of time. For this reason, financing is extremely popular among automotive enthusiasts, as it lets you tackle the cost of your Ram 2500 or Dodge Challenger over the course of four to seven years. This path is also great for those looking to command a pre-owned model. Since the cost will be lower, you may be able to pay it off in a quicker timeframe. You can discount the price of your vehicle significantly by trading your old model. Finally, take advantage of our current incentives to make your purchase even more affordable.
Leasing
Whether you only plan on being in Bakersfield for a while or you want to conserve your funds, an automotive lease could help you. Leasing is similar to borrowing in that you won't own your car after the two- to four-year contract is over .In exchange, you will have low monthly payments and new-vehicle warranties to benefit from. This path is only available for factory-fresh cars, so used models are not on the table. However, since you can upgrade to a newer model after the plan ends, you will have much to gain. Alternatively, it’s easy to purchase your vehicle if you came to love it while you drove it to and from Panorama Park.
Which Is Right for You?
The differences between buying and leasing can make one plan more appealing to you depending on your needs. Financing is a bit more expensive than leasing, but it ends in full ownership, whereas leasing does not. On the other hand, when you lease a car, you will have less commitment, since you can switch to a different vehicle sooner rather than later. If you are still torn between these two options, feel free to contact us, as our team can offer you advice based on your budget.

Thank you Guys I can’t say enough about you keep up the awesome work.
Thank you again Alex and mechanical staff.
“ I have a 2012 Dodge ram that I bought from Haddad in 2014 It has been a terrific truck. Alex Zarate has been my service advisor through some recent repairs. Although you never want to have to work on your truck but after ten years it's bound to happen. Alex has been nothing but helpful and understanding with me and the services I've received. I always have believed in bringing your vehicle to the dealer. The cost is well worth the warranty and level of service i have received. Alex Rodriguez, the service manager was very helpful as well any time I had an issue. Thank you again Alex and mechanical staff. ”

“ My name is Jennie Milstred my husband Kevin & I went into Haddad just to test drive a 2025 Durango. I knew exactly which one I wanted to drive . Eli (Salesman) asked if he could help us something. My husband told him which one we were looking for & he took us right to it. We drove it right away it was so easy he had the keys & off we went lol. Eli was awesome very helpful & friendly my husband & him had a lot in common so conversation was easy. We got back to the dealership and Kevin said let’s look at numbers. I was shocked I thought this was test it see if we like it & then look for the best price. But to my surprise my birthday was the next day Feb 5th and he says work the numbers get us out of our 21 Camry without being upside down. Eli took us into his office & got all info & took it to the sales office. And to our surprise the sales manager is Jr a long time friend. Then Robert another salesman we knew was also working there Jr & Robert are a team they sold me a Jeep in 2019. We have worked with him on other car purchases. Jr is amazing at what he does. You never leave unhappy. Robert was able to step in & help a little bit with some computer things that needed to be done with the Durango while Eli was able to finish with the window sticker & paper license plates lol. They work so well as a TEAM!! We had the most amazing & awesome experience at Haddad buying our 25 Dodge Durango R/T. We got a fabulous price, great incentives and treated with respect the entire time we were there. But I must say it was the fastest we have ever bought a car. We test drove, did paperwork, approved numbers & signed the deal in less than 2 hrs. That’s how good they are at what they do. If your looking for a Dodge or Ram or even something on the used lot go see this TEAM of guys. Jr the sales manager Eli a salesman & Robert a salesman you won’t regret it. No high pressure sales they are chill & let you take the lead on the deal not pushing what they want they are there to work with you & for your best deal& interest. They will take care of you I promise. Please tell them the Jennie or just the Milstred’s sent you. Thank you Guys I can’t say enough about you keep up the awesome work. Thank you Kevin & Jennie Milstred 2025 Dodge Durango R/T ”
