What is Acura Financing?

Acura financing refers to the process of securing a loan or lease to pay for a new or pre-owned Acura vehicle. Financing allows you to enjoy your dream car now while spreading the cost over time with manageable monthly payments. Whether you choose to finance through Acura Financial Services or a trusted lending partner, Schaller Acura’s finance center will help you make sense of your options.

Buying vs Leasing an Acura

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to choosing between buying and leasing. It all depends on how you drive, what your goals are, and how long you plan to keep the vehicle.

Buying (Loan Financing)

Financing a vehicle with a loan means you own the Acura outright once it’s paid off. This option is perfect for drivers who want to build equity, rack up miles without restriction, and personalize their car over time.

Pros of Buying:

• No Mileage Limits
• Freedom To Modify Your Vehicle
• Ownership Builds Equity Over Time
• Sell or Trade at Any Time

Leasing an Acura

Acura lease options are a great fit for those who want lower monthly payments, enjoy driving newer vehicles, and prefer to switch it up every few years.

Pros of Leasing:

• Lower Monthly Payments
• Access To New Acura Models More Frequently
• Lower Repair Costs Due to Warranty Coverage
• Possible Lease-End Flexibility (Buyout, Return, or Trade)

Need help deciding? Our experts will guide you through each option and explain how it impacts your monthly budget and long-term costs.

How to Budget for Your Next Acura

Planning your purchase or lease ahead of time ensures that you stay within your means while still getting the vehicle you love. A clear budget includes more than just the sticker price.

Things to Consider When Budgeting:

• Down Payment: A larger down payment reduces your monthly payments and may qualify you for better loan terms.
• Loan Terms: Choose a loan length that balances affordable monthly payments with total interest paid.
• Interest Rates: Your credit score directly impacts your rate. We work with customers across all credit backgrounds.
• Vehicle Trade-In: If you’re trading in your current vehicle, its value can reduce the overall cost.
