Buy vs. Lease
At LaFontaine INFINITI Novi, finding your next luxury vehicle is just one part of the experience. The other? Deciding how to take it home.
The buy vs. lease topic sparks a lot of curiosity among drivers across Novi, Troy, and Detroit, Michigan, and for good reason. Each option offers unique advantages depending on your driving goals and financial comfort zone. Our finance experts are here to guide you through both so that you can make the most confident decision possible.
Buying Your INFINITI
Purchasing a vehicle is all about independence. When you buy your INFINITI, you’re choosing full ownership—complete freedom to customize, drive, and keep your vehicle as long as you wish. That level of flexibility appeals to those who see their car as a long-term partner, something they can rely on year after year.
Buying an INFINITI also helps you build equity, meaning that your payments go toward ownership, not temporary use. Over time, that can open doors to trade-in opportunities or simply the pride of driving a vehicle that’s fully yours.
Industry research supports that vehicle ownership still holds strong appeal for many drivers. According to The Zebra, car buyers tend to keep their vehicles for an average of eight years before moving on, signaling the lasting satisfaction that comes with owning a vehicle built to endure.*
Leasing Your INFINITI
Leasing brings flexibility to luxury driving. It’s a popular option among drivers who like to keep up with the newest INFINITI innovations without long-term ownership commitments. Leasing means you enjoy your new vehicle for a few years, return it when the term ends, and move on to your next favorite model.
INFINITI also offers the Signature FLEX® Lease, designed with convenience in mind. Drivers can purchase additional miles during their lease to suit their lifestyle through the INFINITI owner portal or mobile app. This flexible structure makes leasing ideal for those who prefer variety, low maintenance concerns, and regular access to the latest designs and features.

What happens at the end of my lease?
When your lease concludes, returning or upgrading your INFINITI is straightforward. With professional guidance and a transparent inspection process, you’ll be ready for the next exciting chapter of luxury driving.
Can I switch from leasing to buying later on?
Yes. Many drivers choose to buy their leased INFINITI at the end of the lease term. You’ll have the option to purchase your vehicle outright once the contract concludes.
Is it possible to trade in my car if I still owe money on it?
Absolutely. Your remaining balance can be rolled into your next purchase or lease agreement after the vehicle’s value is assessed through the trade-in process.
