Both paths work-it depends on your lifestyle and preferences.

**Buying** means you own the vehicle outright after you finish paying. You keep it as long as you want, customize it, and rack up miles without penalty. Maintenance is your responsibility, but you build equity.

**Leasing** gives you a new vehicle every few years with lower monthly payments, warranty coverage included, and minimal maintenance stress. You drive a fresh GMC with the latest tech but return it when the lease ends.

Lessees love predictability; buyers love freedom and long-term value. Our Finance team can show you real numbers for both-monthly costs, total expenses, what makes sense for *you*. **Call (804) 445-2810** to explore both options.
